Amid the chaos and destruction of the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine, three artists find inspiration and beauty as they defend their culture and their country. In a war waged against ordinary civilians, Slava Leontyev, Anya Stasenko, and Andrey Stefanov choose to fight, armed with their art and, for the first time in their lives, guns. As the war intensifies, Andrey picks up his camera to film their story, and on tiny porcelain figurines, Anya and Slava capture their idyllic past, uncertain present, and hope for the future.

“A powerful testament to the resilience of the artistic spirit.” — Toronto Star
