When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, it triggered the largest refugee movement in Europe since the Second World War. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, around a third of Ukraine's population is displaced.
This film follows three young Ukrainians, Iryna, Sasha and Masha, and their families, over the course of a year as they try to rebuild their lives in Estonia. The more time passes, the more the girls are forced to make plans for their future and consider the impact these might have on their identities, all the while trying to assimilate the trauma of war and the loss of their homes and lives of yesteryear.
