In the heart of Kyiv, the ancient Lybid River winds through time, carrying echoes of the city's past, present, and uncertain future. Lybid is a poetic meditation on memory, resilience, and the fragile balance between nature and urban decay. Through intimate reflections and striking contrasts of concrete and water, the film unfolds as a dialogue between the hero, the river, and the city—where history, loss, and hope ripple through the ever-changing flow of life.

Maxim is creating a project that allows people to leave a true testament—their final words captured on camera.
