Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, three artists defiantly find inspiration and beauty as they defend their culture and their country. Slava Leontyev, Anya Stasenko, and Andrey Stefanov choose to stay, armed with their art, their cameras, and, for the first time in their lives, their guns. As the war intensifies, Andrey films their story, and on tiny porcelain figurines, Anya and Slava capture their idyllic past, uncertain present, and hope for the future. A stunning tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, this documentary won a grand jury prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
