2025 / 25' / documentary / Ukraine, USA

Two and a half years after the start of the full-scale invasion, a group of Ukrainian artists and volunteers gathers at Burning Man to create a large-scale installation. Using road signs from de-occupied territories, they form the phrase “I’M FINE” – a symbol of how people hide their pain. The sculpture becomes a space for gathering, reflection, and dialogue about war, trauma, and the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit.
