Experience from Russia's war against Ukraine and its aftermath in the form of PTSD. An animated film about surviving horror and coming home. First use of neural network animation in a short film along with classic animation.

Through the story of Oleksa, a young man with undiagnosed autism, the film explores the impact of war on those often overlooked. Oleksa’s defences collapse in the face of unimaginable challenges, leading him to lose everything — only to gradually rediscover trust and human connection.

A film about the boundaries we set among ourselves, so as not to speak on complex topics and not to quarrel in difficult times.

This is a very personal story about how much everything is connected. About the relationship of children and parents, ecology education and responsibility for both relations with people and with nature.
