The Year That Never Ended

These are captured moments from the life of a Ukrainian industrial giant from the East, which no longer exists due to the Russian offensive. A story of heroic energy workers at the last operating power plant in eastern Ukraine, only 10 km from the frontline. Under constant shelling, they risk their lives to keep the lights on until the plant's destruction and forced evacuation, echoing historical parallels from 1941.

The outbreak of the war was an impetus for the active development of civil society in Ukraine. The growing wave of civic consciousness has reached even the most remote corners of society - the rave community. Those who were considered "hedonists" organized one of the largest movements in Ukraine to help places destroyed by the war, not forgetting to bring their identity, their music with them.
