A closed religious community in Ukraine has chosen to live in a beautiful landscape, where the front lines of both World War I and World War II once passed. It’s a sunny village filled with the laughter of children from large families. Yet, the community’s peaceful life is frequently disrupted by floods and war — two points serving as moments of reckoning in their memory. Nature and war are both relentless forces that take lives. The community comes together to overcome the aftermath of floods. The flood alters community life, just as the country is reshaped by war.
Together with the community, we observe transformations, where the current war intertwines with the past ones, but the feeling of home can never be taken away from anyone.
