Danish filmmaker Simon Lereng Wilmont (The Distant Barking of Dogs - RIDM 2018) returns with a poignant portrait of children living in eastern Ukraine. Installed in a rehabilitation centre in Lyssytchansk, the camera discreetly follows youth as they play, sometimes fight, and talk openly about their emotions. We soon recognize the severe impact of the violent war and neglect resulting from broken homes on the lives of these children, whose short-lived moments of healing and hope come from the infinite devotion of their temporary guardians. This masterfully directed observational film is heart-wrenching yet full of soul and compassion.
