The documentary focuses on a group of Ukrainian dancers in exile who come together to form a new ballet company called the United Ukrainian Ballet. In Washington, Oleksiy, one of the leading ballet artists, meets Olexander Budko, a military veteran who lost both his legs in combat on the Ukrainian-Russian border. A friendship forms between them, and Alexander joins the ballet company. He participates in choreographic productions on the California stage (USA).
