A portrait of Natalia, a strong, independent, and anarchist woman fighting to protect her land against all odds. What begins as a struggle against developers becomes profoundly existential with Russia’s attack on Ukraine. This film by Adelina Borets is a testament to perseverance and hope in the face of relentless adversity.

The 64th Ann Arbor Film Festival marks a historic first: a weekend of programming devoted to Ukrainian filmmakers, highlighting voices of resilience, creativity, and experimentation under extraordinary circumstances. WCEE is proud to have supported this initiative by covering the submission fees for all Ukrainian films.
