Ukraine, GERMANY | 2025 | animated documentary | 12 MIN.
Directed by Polina Piddubna
Granddaughter experiencing invasion of Ukraine reflects on her past
generations, who were constantly going through deportations, different forms of
wars and genocides because of being considered as ethnic minorities and backward
people. She has a phone call with her young grandmother who is currently living with her
best and peaceful years by actively doing parachute sports, falling in love and
studying medicine. In this reflective space granddaughter tries to define her ethnic
identity, break this endless circle of generational trauma and reflect on the
purpose of human life.
