Les Fleurs de Malva

Directed by Anna Lys

In a small village in the Ukrainian countryside, Nina, a grandmother deeply attached to her land, welcomes her granddaughter Yana for what appears to be a simple holiday. In reality, she is trying to hide the war that is ravaging the country from her granddaughter by creating an imaginary world where everything is fine. However, the child's astuteness gradually cracks the old woman's illusions. Nina must face her real problem: finding the courage to leave her hometown.
