No obvious signs

No obvious signs - the phrase, which Ukrainian soldiers hear in hospitals, where they come with physiological traumas, needing help. But until their bodies have no injuries, not only doctors, but even society doesn’t notice their problems. This is the story of the woman who returns from war. Talking to psychologists, battling her PTSD and panic attacks, she tries hard to get back to normal life. The documentary shows her path from the beginning of her rehabilitation till her going back to work. What is left backstage of the heroic videos of the warriors in Ukraine? What do they have to face, one on one, in peaceful life, and where does the war stop?
