Bohdan Prykhodko / Ukraine / 2023 / World Premiere / 13 min.


synopsis

Footage of the everyday life of an ordinary Ukrainian family from the city of Svitlodarsk in the Donetsk region shows a life marred by the Russian occupation, where martial law has become the norm. The picture contrasts children's games, doing homework and having dinner in front of the TV with the panorama of the bombed-out buildings of a ghost town.

“In war and the army, the worst thing is deathly silence. When there is silence, something is going to happen.”

biography
