Olena
Olena has left Ukraine due to the uprisings and economic difficulties. Roman, her brother, has been captured while protesting in the streets. After learning that her parents cannot afford to pay a lawyer to release Roman from prison, Olena struggles to find enough money to help her family. As the deadline approaches, she will be forced to make a costly, morally wrenching choice.
