In Her Arms

2025 · 20m

Following the retreat of Russian forces, Heorhiy and Yaryna return to their home in Ukraine and attempt to recover from the lingering trauma left by the conflict. In the unsettling form of a live grenade hidden behind the fridge, the director introduces the ghosts of war into a seemingly safe space as the couple's perception of reality begins to crumble around them. A defiant slap in the face to the absurdity of war.
