"It'll All Be Over Soon"—a phrase that many families have told themselves since February 24, 2022.

This is the story of emigrés trapped in visa-waiting limbo. A Chekhov’s gun will kill in vain. A wealthy family will be divided. A lonely IT guy will find an unexpected soulmate. His grandmother’s cherry jam will sprout into a cherry orchard. A solid marriage will buckle under the weight of family reunification rules and the brutal job market. An eccentric hotel manager will reveal himself to be more than he seems. And finally, national identity will be interrogated to answer the eternal question: to what extent do our roots define us—if at all?
