Single mother Anna and her four children live in the front-line war zone of Donbas, Ukraine. While the outside world is made up of bombings and chaos, the family is managing to keep their home a safe haven, full of life and full of light. Every member of the family has a passion for cinema, motivating them to shoot a film inspired by their own life during a time of war. The creative process raises the question of what kind of power the magical world of cinema could have during times of disaster. How to picture war through fiction? For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.

"War, why have you taken away my childhood?" Over the last seven years, the people of Eastern Ukraine have forgotten what a calm and peaceful life is like. The military attacks do not stop, and the sounds of shelling dictate the rules. Krasnohorivka is a small town near Donetsk that regularly suffers from shelling. Everyone who is here has experienced their tragedy, so has the family that told their story.
