Surrounded by walls that have ears and a voice, soldiers confront the psychological impacts of war through unorthodox therapies and evidence-based medicine in a brief sanctuary before returning to the frontlines.
For a decade, "The Forest Glade" rehabilitation center has been a haven for Ukrainian defenders and veterans, a place where battle-scarred souls find solace, strength, and the chance to heal. Narrated by "Forest Glade" itself, the documentary shares the harrowing and hopeful stories of those who pass through its doors. Since 2022, the full-scale invasion has brought an influx of physically and emotionally wounded soldiers. Providing therapy, weekend dances, and personalized care, "Forest Glade" offers refuge. Yet with only three weeks per patient before they return to war or civilian life, can it truly heal a nation at war?
