Three years of war have scarred every citizen of Ukraine. When a Danish urbanist arrives with a plan to build a Nordic therapy garden, his efforts expose how unprepared the nation is to address a looming mental health crisis.
Three years have passed since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In addition to significant human losses, the country is facing another challenge: severe psychological trauma. Mikael, a Danish urbanist living in Kyiv, proposes to create the first Scandinavian therapy garden in Ukraine, a space of healing for citizens with PTSD. He faces bureaucratic difficulties in Ukraine and skepticism from doctors. For months, Mikael, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, has been restoring an abandoned forest area near the hospital. This project is a big step in Michael's career and will look great in his portfolio. But will it help overcome the psychological crisis in the country?
