A diary of the aftermath of the war, made up of a series of disturbing pictures of the everyday life of Ukrainians trying to adapt to the new reality.
Refugees desperately clinging to the doors trying to catch a seat in the already full carriages of a train, soldiers, weapons, destroyed cities, children playing war in the backyard, people staring into the void, baking bread or burying their dead are all familiar images and part of the chronology of a new reality that has taken hold in Ukraine. Olha Zhurba's observation is based on an uncompromising observation and, without fireworks, shows us the collective drama of Ukrainians and the effects of war.
