A portrait of a nation through a tapestry of Ukrainian fates centered around 2013/14s Euromaidan protests in Kyiv. There's a longing for home, of returning to sites that have been battered. Of wanting to help, of having no option but to fight for one's believes. There's betrayal of one's country, of escape and exile. There's brothers and friends fighting on different sides. There's loss and despair, and yet always renewal and new beginnings. There's new love amongst all the rubble.
Segmented with news snippets and Ukrainian folk lyrics, this felt occasionally disjointed, but always lyrical and quite dynamic. And I very much appreciated how it all tied together in the end.
