    • Synopsis
    • Contouring propaganda manipulation in the modern world, the story follows Ukrainian children Kira (10), Taisa (14), and Artem (15) and 50 supporting children characters as they paint memories of their time in Russian 're-education' camps. The animated scenes immerse the viewers into the children’s shifting identity experiences. What seems at first like a thrilling time without parents shifts to evoking memories about propaganda events, mental torment, punishments, isolation and military training.
