KYIV CAKE

Synopsis

The events of the movie unfold in modern Ukraine. A child is born into a poor family, the parents do everything possible to survive, but just when the crisis reaches its peak, a new danger flares up.

Statement of the director

This film was created by me as a director while living in Ukraine during the full-scale invasion. It reflects the feelings and emotions that emerged from experiencing life under extreme conditions. After the Russian invasion began, I found myself rethinking my entire life experience – something in me had changed irreversibly. This transformation became the foundation of the film’s narrative.
