Synopsis

Three days after the start of war in Ukraine, a Moldovan film collective came together to document the influx of Ukrainian refugees and the grassroots mobilization of Moldovan community to help and host refugees. The film is a kaleidoscopic, polyphonic work that looks at Moldovan society in the context of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the defragmentation threats that loom over Moldova.

*This feature documentary came out as an idea of the Moldox Association as a reaction to the war in Ukraine. The project received production support from the People in Need Moldova, European Cultural Foundation, Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
