Jeppe Bendix Jørgensen and Kim Nielsen are farmers and work as operations managers on three large farms in western and central Ukraine. They went there as very young – driven by adventure – but landed in the middle of a war. Even if the missile alarms sound, there must be sowing and reaping. Neither of the two young farmers expects to return home to Denmark once more.
