My urgent need to find out how the war affects human relationships started a long time ago when I entered a relationship with a soldier. For two years, I have observed what was happening to my partner who served in the war. His post-war mental condition deeply affected me. I started experiencing anxiety and PTSD symptoms myself. I decided to search for a family expecting their beloved one from war. I found SERHIY´S family through a Ukrainian NGO, and it took me three years to film his story. I chose him as a character as he was the most broken one, and I could deeply understand him. Now I am living in exile in Portugal. But I know that as a Ukrainian, I need to help my nation to rebuild its strength. No one can be completely prepared to face the post-war trauma of a loved one, but there should be a support system for the veterans and their family members. It is not yet established on the official level of the state in Ukraine, and I believe the film can give the viewers the tools for coping. The goal of my film is to have the viewer sympathise with each character and forgive. I follow Serhiy´s news on the front line. His struggles fuel my desire to make his story known and heard.
