About the film: Winner – World Documentary Award at Sundance Film Festival. Exquisitely shot and bold in its metastorytelling approach, director Iryna Tsilyk’s documentary follows single mother Anna and her four children as they document their lives under siege in 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.
