In 2022 the Lithuanian filmmaker Mantas Kvedaravičius returned to Mariupol, Ukraine, to meet up again with the people he had filmed in 2015. Following his death, his producers and colleagues dedicated all their efforts to continuing his work and completing the project in accordance with his vision. Mantas wanted to bear witness as a filmmaker to what was happening there, far from the noise of media and politicians. With great strength and sensitivity, this documentary tells how life continues under the bombardments, and shows images which blend equal parts of tragedy and hope.
