Single mother Anna and her four children live in the front-line war zone of Donbas, Ukraine. While the outside world is made up of bombings and chaos, the family is managing to keep their home as a safe haven, full of life and full of light. Every member of the family has a passion for cinema, motivating them to shoot a film inspired by their own life during a time of war. The creative process raises the question of how to picture war through fiction. For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.
Presented at Sundance, Berlin and Hot Docs film festivals.
