As It Was

After an argument with her boyfriend a young woman is driving home. There she plays the piano, celebrates, walks through the sunrise. Everything seems normal, but nothing is normal because her home is Kyiv. A tender film about trying to live an ordinary life in the midst. (Film Festival Cottbus)
