Art as Resistance Amid Conflict
The documentary highlights how three Ukrainian artists, Slava, Anya, and Andrei, transformed their lives and artwork in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Rather than fleeing, they chose to use their art as a form of resistance, capturing the realities of war while maintaining their humanity. This juxtaposition of creativity and conflict is illustrated through the porcelain figurines they create, which symbolize resilience and the fragility of life. By focusing on the beauty in their surroundings, they aim to preserve culture and provide a counter-narrative to the destruction around them.
