    Shout-out to Dakha Brakha for the entire soundtrack!

    One does not normally attend wartime documentary films with joyful anticipation, but this film has been so well designed and produced that you go for the sake of the art while possibly dreading the war part. No need to be anxious, because, In fact, both aspects are so beautifully filmed and well integrated that the war -- with all its closeup and graphic action -- is not offputting. Instead, the balance is just right and the message is unmistakable. Huge kudos to Dakha Brakha for enhancing the entire soundtrack with their powerful, inimitable gorgeous sound. Last but not least, as a professional translator I can say that the subtitles are flawless.

    Touching and Heartfelt Yet Tragic and Heart-wrenching

    The beautiful filming of nature is exquisite in this film as it is portrayed in the midst of a devastating war-zone. The families depicted in the film are warm, talented, compassionate and giving, yet they are living in a world of destruction, danger, fear and devastation. Finding hope in the middle of a desperate and almost hopeless situation shows the strength and determination of the Uranian people as they determinedly protect the homeland they love. The film left me with such anger that a larger threatening country can destroy lives of peaceful existence of kind, compassionate and good people and replace it with hatred, evil and selfishness. My heart is with the people of the Ukraine with hopes that they can hold on to their beloved land and restore life one day as it should be lived in all countries around the world.

    Beautiful, touching and inspiring! Artfully done.

    I had the pleasure of seeing this film premier at Sundance Film Festival this year. This story about 3 Ukrainian artists living in a war zone was eye opening, intense, inspiring and hopeful.

    You really connect with the subjects of the film as you walk through their world with them (and their military unit and loved ones), hear their stories (both happy and sad), feel their hurt, and listen to their hopes.

    The use of imagery and art to convey their story is beautifully done and so effective. The contrast of the war scenes with nature and art are incredibly well done and balanced. The music throughout is all Ukrainian, which immerses you even more. It is absolutely artfully filmed.

    Sundance Watch

    I saw this film for the first time at its premiere at Sundance Film Festival 2024 and was very impressed. The sound, cinematography, editing, color grading are all fantastic. Slava Leontyev and Brendan Bellomo are both gifted storytellers. You really get to know each of the film's subjects. In a world full of depressing hopeless documentaries, this film really focuses on the idea of hope amid destruction, and it does not deviate from that message even during moments of wartime. Although war-torn Ukraine is well documented at this point, stories of its ordinary citizens, especially artists and those trying to put beauty back into the world, are not.

    Artists as warriors

    A beautifully made film of three artists and their families, interrupted when their lives are invaded by a neighboring country. The choices that they make to not only survive, but to fight for their country's citizens. And for all of mankind's freedoms. Even their sweet dog, Frodo becomes a star as he barks at the bombs and comfort his caregivers. This is a must see beautiful film that you won't regret seeing. Even though it's about war, and it's dreadful what is happening, it's not made to be too difficult to watch. It's really beautifully done!

    I want more of Slava and Anya's art! More of Andrey's art and to see his family together again, forever.

    I'd give it a 10 if I didn't have to read subtitles. But that's just me.

      Slava Leontyev: Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, but the fighting continues, not just for Ukraine, but for the world too. Because if one doesn't resist evil, it doesn't stop. It will keep pushing until it reaches you. Countless families have buried children, fathers, mothers, and we will bury many more. These lives were sacrificed for freedom, and this will continue.
