Finding your next obsession

Through a combination of animation, graphics, and prose, young Ukrainian artist Marynka Dovhanych offers a deeply personal account of life during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Structured in eight chapters, the film explores the psychological and emotional impact of war, from insecurity and grief to fear, resilience, and the instinct for survival.
