Refuges

A year after a cruel war scours a remote countryside, a quiet, cautious nurse returns to a besieged village where shadows linger as keenly as the cold. She befriends a wounded man hiding in the ruins, and together they navigate a fragile truce between survival and suspicion. In a landscape of abandoned farms and whispered rumors, hope flickers through acts of quiet courage—a shared meal, a song kept alive, a doorway left ajar for mercy. As daylight drifts into dusk, the pair confronts an impossible choice: to shelter another at the risk of drawing danger, or to protect their own precarious peace.
