synopsis
The Russian occupiers came and took almost everything from Svitlana, but they could not rob her of her memories of places and moments from her previous life. This tragic portrait of war losses thereby becomes a meditation on values that are enduring, precisely because no brute force can tear them from individual consciousness, violate them, or bury them.
“Focused on the details often overlooked, her films explore the quieter sides of life, giving space to what often remains unsaid.”
