Synopsis

“What kind of love do you have for him?”

Haunted by loss and war, veteran Serhiy battles to reconnect with his wife, Nadiia, and their three sons. The film unexpectedly shifts when he turns the camera on the director, creating a space for a vulnerable dialogue about love and human relationships. The trust and empathy between the protagonist and filmmaker convey the emotional toll of war, as well as the healing potential of storytelling and documentary filmmaking.

In the presence of the director.
