The unfavorable situation of the labor market during the pandemic pushes Kateryna to work in a fraudulent call center that sells vitamins that promise “magical” success to its consumers. While this helped to survive financially, months of isolation, irritated customers and a common frustration took her into a vitamin deficiency, so-called avitaminosis. The film is a journey into fragility and the search for healing and love in an increasingly suffocating world for young generations.

Impressions from the suburban area in Zaporizhzhia: arterial roads, residential silos, factory ruins, industrial wastelands. For someone ugly suburban architecture, for the director a meditative space. A sensitive look through a kaleidoscope that reveals yearnings and dreams in seemingly dreary grey. A very personal dialogue with inconspicuous beauty, transience and permanent change.
