Description: When poet/filmmaker Iryna Tsilyk first visits the Trofymchuk-Gladky famiily on the front lines of war-torn Eastern Ukraine, she is surprised by what she finds. While the outside world is plagued with bombings and chaos, single mother Anna and her four children manage to keep their home a safe haven, full of life and brimming with light. Every member of the family has a passion for cinema, so it feels natural for them to shoot a film inspired by their own life during wartime. For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.
