Two Ukrainian women, an artist and a filmmaker, explore migration, memory and art.

Directors Statement
As a Ukrainian-American storyteller, I was drawn not to explaining war, but to how creation persists within it, including my own: how art can be erotic, defiant, and even joyful without denying pain.
This film unfolds as a living memory, a trace of conversation and connection that blurs the line between witness and participant. In embracing feminine complexity, ancestral grief, the story breathes through symbol, silence, and sensation—honoring not just what was said, but what was felt.
