Réminiscence
Directed by Iryna Melnichenko
Ira Melnichenko, a young Ukrainian refugee in Switzerland with her brother, creates a doll in her own image, through which she revisits the story of a family torn apart by the death of her father, a 2D animator in Kyiv, destroyed by alcohol and dereliction. In her eyes – those of a child forced to grow up too fast – we read tenderness and bewilderment in the face of a vanished world.
