Director Statement

This movie was made during the war in Ukraine (after Russian full-scale invasion) in 2022-2023. Needless to say, how many obstacles we faced: endless air alerts, multiple shelling, blackout in autumn-winter period and real life threat on sets, literally. Proud of each participant who wasn't afraid of it and completed this very hard but interesting journey. You are all the best!
