Set during the Second World War, Evacuation follows Natalia and her daughter Galya as they join streams of Soviet civilians fleeing Nazi occupation. Amid the chaos in Almaty - a city that received millions of evacuees - Natalia suddenly loses her daughter and begins a desperate search through a sea of displaced people. Through this journey, Evacuation portrays the fates of those swept away by war, while evoking, loss, and the strength of maternal love at a moment of historical upheaval.
