The Maidan uprising of 2013/2014 marked the onset of dramatic change in Ukraine, which of course has affected directors’ family as well because he was born in Ukraine and has a lot of relatives scattered all across the country. A filmmaker is travelling to Lvov, to the Crimean peninsula, to Odessa and the Donbas area to tell their story and provide a multifaceted image of Ukraine today. This is a story of ordinary people in the pursuit of happiness. They are telling about their lives in a country with a complicated history which is now trying to move closer to Europe. This move was the decision of a large majority of Ukrainians – but has plunged the country into a bloody war. (Estonian Film Institute)
