Ashes Settling in Layers on the Surface (Прах, що осідає шаром на поверхні)
Based on diaries of the director’s grandfather and mother, the film tells of one family within the ceaseless cycle of destruction-restoration in her hometown Mariupol. Today, the director is left only with her memories. She is not the only one: while we are watching the film, somewhere there is war.

Ravaged body of Ukrainian nature is the main character behind this visually and sound driven observational documentary. Silently laying bare the catastrophic impacts of war, nature resists and gradually heals itself.
