FLOWERS OF UKRAINE

POLISH TITLE: KWIATY UKRAINY

On a flowery plot of land, in the middle of a block of flates in Kiev lives 67-year-old Natalia. She raises goats and chickens, cultivates a garden, and for years has been fighting against investors who would like to build another property in place of her house. A common sight in her daily life are excavators, which Natalia drives away from her property with the same determination each time. No amount of money can convince her to change her decision because after all, it's about her home, not just a piece of land. And just when it seems that the fight against developers is the worst thing she faces, the attack of Russia on Ukraine begins.
