Misundershood | Iryna Sosimovych | UKR | 8’
"Misundershood" is a sensitive author's story about war, as seen through the eyes of a vulnerable person. Oleksa perceives the world more subtly and acutely than others, living at his own pace and in his own silence. But war mercilessly cuts into his reality, destroying his fragile inner balance. It brings out his childhood fears, exacerbates his loneliness, and leaves the hero alone with the chaos of adult tragedies. His usual supports disappear, and the world becomes unfamiliar and dangerous. But the main question remains open: will Oleksa be able to overcome his own fear, come out of isolation and feel trust in people again? The film reminds us that behind historical tragedies, there are always quiet, invisible human destinies.
