Synopsis by Cammila Collar
In this gritty, Ukrainian drama, a mother and daughter live together in a cramped, decrepit apartment, both unhappy but both dependent on each other. The mother suffers from multiple sclerosis and the daughter is bitter and feels confined, and so the two walk a thin line between love and frustration. As their small world makes everyday hurdles become monumental obstacles, they struggle to find a balance, frequently walking by the nearby river for comfort, seeking solace in its unending movement forward.
