​

Because filming military objects in Ukraine without permission is forbidden, life in the capital may seem normal, but nothing is normal at all. Over two years, people have adapted to constant sounds of air alarms, curfews, and even nightly rocket shelling once every two weeks, knowing that the next day they must return to work or studies. In our documentary project, we aim to depict the absurdity and abnormality of this situation by showing a general portrait of a young person forced to spend their youth and formative years in a country at war.

​

Using multi-screening, we intend to illustrate the chaos unfolding in a bustling city, where finding one's place is already challenging, compounded by the realities of war, mobilization, loss of loved ones, and displacement.
