Single mother Anna and her four children live in the front-line war zone of Donbas, Ukraine.

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.

For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.
