Exchange of prisoners of war. In the hospital courtyard, hundreds of relatives have gathered — far more than the number of freed Ukrainian service members. Who will embrace their loved one today, and who will have to keep waiting? The first moments of reunion become the climax, as people and viewers share anticipation.
