Filmed over more than a thousand days on the front line, this is Helena's personal record of the war in Ukraine. When the invasion began she was a filmmaker with no experience of combat. She volunteered, learned to treat the wounded, learned to fight, and over time became an officer leading others. The camera became both shield and witness — capturing not the spectacle of battle, but the faces of those beside her, the exhaustion, the rare laughter, and the quiet that follows loss.

Co-directed with Adrian Pîrvu, this intimate documentary follows two people whose lives were shaped, before they were even born, by the Chornobyl disaster. It is a journey across Ukraine and Europe in search of treatment, of others with similar stories, and of a way to keep faith in life despite everything.
