Synopsis
One morning, 12-year-old Niki, and his family went into the Kharkiv underground to shelter from Russian bombs, and they never came out since. Life was organised and Niki met 11-year-old Vika, who became his new playmate. A precious and unique portrait of the daily lives of ordinary people in war-ravaged Ukraine, through the eyes of two children.
