The second part of Vladyslav Plisetskyi's trilogy, which was launched before the full-scale invasion. The film explores how a prolonged war changes society, political narratives and personal reality. Through his own biography, performances, dialogue with his father and the transformations of the Ukrainian queer community, the author shows the collision of identities, cultures and ideologies. The war becomes a background for deeply personal stories and visual narratives that merge into an artistic manifesto. The new work reflects how the chaos of the full-scale invasion is mounting, and affecting, among other things, the Ukrainian queer community, LGBTQ+ rights, and their involvement in the war.
