    • Synopsis
    • In early March 2022, Russian forces took control of the village of Yahidne in northern Ukraine. Using the school as a base, they confined nearly 400 local residents, including 77 children, in the school's basement. People stayed there for 27 days. While some villagers try to forget the traumatic experience, others continuously revisit the memories, seeking understanding and closure.
