Touching documemtary about the fragility of art and the preservation of humanity under any circumstances, even amidst the brutality of war.

Under roaring fighter jets and missile strikes, Ukrainian artists Slava, Anya, and Andrey choose to stay behind and fight, contending with the soldiers they have become. Defiantly finding beauty amid destruction, they show that although it’s easy to make people afraid, it’s hard to destroy their passion for living.

The film won the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. documentary category at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
