The drama "Yurik" events are based on the real story of an 11-year-old boy who, escaping from the war-torn Mariupol, spent 15 days reaching the border of Ukraine. Yurik's mother sent him to the evacuation when she realized he was in danger of being deported to russia by the occupiers in his hometown. For the sake of her son, the mother makes the most difficult decision in her life - to tear her child away from her so that he can save himself and live safely with his relatives in Estonia. She remains in Mariupol, in the basement of their house, to take care of her sick grandmother.

Alone, with his mother's phone number on his back, Yurik will make his way to the border of salvation: by train, by car, with military personnel in armored personnel carriers, under shelling and occupied cities, finding a short rest with good people. He will be guided by the power of love. And throughout the journey, Yurik will remember his mother's words: "As long as you live, I will live."

Osnova Film Production, the creators of the film "Mama" in 2021, in partnership with the TV channel STB worked on the project with the support of partners - the Estonian television company ETV and the USAID fund.
