TO SAVE HORSIE / ВРЯТУВАТИ КОНИКА

2023 / 60' / Ukraine

An investigative documentary dedicated to the fate of children who suffered from Russia’s full-scale war unleashed against Ukraine. As a basis of our story, we take the fate of a child whose toy horse was found at the railway station in the city of Kramatorsk after it was hit by two Russian missiles in April 2022. Seven children died at the station then. Was the owner of the toy horse among them? Did the owner of the toy lose his/her parents? Our film will investigate this case to the end.

We will expose the most resonant facts about children who suffered from the war, track the further ways of those who managed to survive, investigate and tell what made up their lives before the war.
