The documentary was awarded for the best director at the famous film festival “Sundance” (USA).
The film reveals the daily life of a family living on the front line in Donbas, Ukraine. While the external world is in chaos and bomb explosions can be heard, a single mother Anna and her four children are able to save their home even in a war zone. And their home is a peaceful haven full of life and light. Passion for cinema inspires the family to film, edit and present a film inspired by their own life during the war. Anna and her children are transforming their trauma into creativity as it is the only way to remain human.
The film which has won many international awards was produced by the famous Lithuanian film director Giedrė Žickytė (“Šuolis”) and the studio “Moonmakers” founded by her.
