Ashes Settling in Layers on the Surface (Прах, що осідає шаром на поверхні)
Based on diaries and photographs of the director’s grandfather and mother, the film reconstructs the life of one family within the never-ending cycle of destruction and restoration in her hometown — Mariupol. Today, the director is left with nothing except her memories. And she is not the only one: while we are watching the film, somewhere there is a war.
