How much power can art have in wartime?
Single mother Anna and her four children live in the front-line war zone of Donbas, Ukraine. While the outside world is made up of bombings and chaos, the family is managing to keep their home a safe haven, full of life and full of light. 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. The creative process raises the question of what kind of power the magical world of cinema could have during times of disaster. How to picture war through fiction? For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.

[Zinebi] Life goes on, although bombs are often far away. This family that suffers the ravages of war, builds its own memory through the cinema. In these family footage the background is not the beach, but the tanks. It's a film that observes, and at the same time constructs, a reality around matriarchy (men are absent). And this passion for cinema, using such a hostile environment, is certainly fascinating.
