Private Project

Kirill in the Workshop

Kirill and his father Andrii come from Ukraine and have found a temporary home in Berlin. They come from the Kiev suburb of Butsha, where the Russian army carried out serious massacres against the civilian population after the invasion of Ukraine. Andrii was injured in military service and lost a leg.
Kirill and Andrii do not want to talk about their experiences in the war. The film shows how the son learns to work with wood from his father in a workshop. Working together is a way of overcoming the silence.
