"Pit-Hole" or "Яма" is the story of an unusual Ukrainian family fighting against the lawlessness of the Kiev real estate market. Nataliya, the head of the family, is trying to preserve the family house, now surrounded by a modern housing estate. In addition to this she has to take care of her four children, two husbands and a little herd of mischievous goats. Will Nataliya manage to maintain the family's lifestyle and privatize the land or will they be kicked out due to pressure from the powers that be? Is Ukraine truly a democratic country?
