The recording appears to be a vlog of an individual and their companion, Johnny, attempting to flee Ukraine as Russian tanks are approaching the city center. They head to the railway station, hoping to catch a train to a safer location, possibly the Romanian border. Upon arrival, they find hundreds of people trying to escape, including families with children and pets. Despite initial uncertainty, they manage to obtain a ticket and board the train, which they dub the "refugee express." Along the way, they encounter various individuals, including a kind-hearted woman who helps them, and engage in conversations about the war and its impact on Ukraine and Russia. As they near the Hungarian border, the atmosphere changes, and they begin to feel a sense of relief and safety. After a chaotic scene at the border crossing, they successfully enter Hungary, where they are greeted with applause. The vlog concludes with the individual reflecting on their experience and acknowledging that they are now officially a refugee.
