In her arms by Roman Volosevych | UKR | 20’

Heorhiy and Yaryna return to their home, liberated after de-occupation, which had been occupied by Russian forces. Through the lens of a booby trap left behind, the film explores how the couple attempts to rebuild their lives, gradually distancing themselves from the surrounding war. This retreat into their own secluded world grows increasingly surreal as the war (in the form of the booby trap) subtly expands its presence, right under their noses. Heorhiy and Yaryna attempt to return to normal life, but a grenade hidden behind the refrigerator profoundly impacts their psychological state and perception of reality.
