MYKOLAIV, UKRAINE
35 KM FROM THE FRONTLINE
00:00:17:00 00:00:19:04
Come on, I'm waiting for you
so that we can leave.
00:19:15 00:23:02
YURI
UKRAINIAN VOLUNTEER SOLDIER
00:00:20:21 00:00:25:14
He said you have to be in position today
whether you like it or not.
00:00:25:14 00:00:27:22
What do you mean tomorrow?
We leave today.
00:00:27:22 00:00:31:13
I won't have any time to spend
with my wife.
00:19:15 00:23:02
ALINA
YURI’S DAUGHTER
00:00:50:00 00:00:53:08
Alina, by the time we have a house in the country,
you would have finished school already.
00:00:54:22 00:00:57:15
Well, sure but we will never
live there anyway.
00:01:02:23 00:01:04:06
Alina, listen...
00:01:04:20 00:01:05:23
In case something happens,
00:01:06:21 00:01:08:09
In case your dad
dies unexpectedly...
00:01:10:12 00:01:13:15
Be good with mum.
00:01:13:15 00:01:16:10
And don't forget that
you have a sister.
00:01:16:10 00:01:17:10
Ok
00:01:17:22 00:01:19:09
I'm saying it just in case.
00:01:20:24 00:01:21:24
Of course just in case.
00:01:23:15 00:01:25:04
I don't want to die,
00:01:25:04 00:01:27:07
but anything can
happen out there.
00:01:27:07 00:01:30:00
You too Kristina,
did you hear me?
00:01:39:22 00:01:43:13
Do you want to take one more bandage?
Or is this one is enough?
00:01:43:13 00:01:45:13
A bandage... this one is small.
00:01:45:13 00:01:46:13
It's enough.
00:01:46:13 00:01:48:02
It's enough for this trip.
00:01:51:05 00:01:52:14
You got the lipstick on.
00:01:54:19 00:01:55:22
Call me.
00:01:55:22 00:01:57:00
I will.
00:02:53:19 00:02:54:19
Kristina!
00:02:55:21 00:02:56:13
Call her.
00:02:56:13 00:02:57:13
Kris!
00:03:02:03 00:03:03:20
Ask her to bring an ointment.
00:03:04:21 00:03:05:23
The white one.
00:03:05:23 00:03:06:23
Ok
00:03:12:15 00:03:14:00
Why didn't you close the door?
00:03:14:00 00:03:15:17
I was waiting for you to close it.
00:03:15:17 00:03:17:06
What do you mean waiting
for me to close it?
00:03:17:06 00:03:18:20
Who else will?
00:03:18:20 00:03:19:20
My leg hurts.
00:03:35:00 00:03:36:21
Go, go!
00:03:36:21 00:03:39:23
I am going to close now.
00:04:03:08 00:04:04:14
Yes Yuri.
00:04:04:14 00:04:05:22
Svetlana, go to the basement, now!
00:04:05:22 00:04:10:11
We heard the siren, closed the door
and came down to the basement.
00:04:10:11 00:04:12:22
There’s been an explosion somewhere
in Korabelnyi district.
00:04:15:04 00:04:17:01
Damn. Got it, well, let's go.
00:04:19:15 00:04:22:16
Papa said that the explosions
were only in Korabelnyi.
00:04:22:16 00:04:24:10
Is it close?
00:04:24:10 00:04:26:04
Not really, but there
may be other explosions.
00:04:27:12 00:04:29:11
Is papa alright?
00:04:30:12 00:04:34:15
Turn the TV down a little so we can hear what's going on, okay?
00:04:35:23 00:04:40:20
Let's check the news, maybe they'll say
something about explosion.
00:04:43:02 00:04:45:10
In general, when it starts...Wait!
00:04:46:16 00:04:52:24
In general, when there are big explosions,
the shock waves shake the gates.
00:05:18:04 00:05:21:07
Since the beginning of the war,
dad doesn't want us
to leave the garage.
00:05:21:07 00:05:22:23
to leave the garage.
00:05:25:19 00:05:27:00
He's worried.
00:05:28:16 00:05:31:20
Maybe he thinks someone
will shoot us down on the road or something.
00:05:39:02 00:05:42:17
Have a good night, girls.
00:05:44:18 00:05:46:21
Come here.
00:05:49:02 00:05:51:05
Good night Katya.
00:05:55:10 00:05:57:17
What?
-You were told good night!
00:06:00:06 00:06:02:04
It stinks!
00:06:02:04 00:06:04:11
Yeah, it stinks so bad!
00:06:04:14 00:06:06:14
Shame on the whole garage!
00:06:06:14 00:06:08:18
At least the fleas won't bite.
00:06:08:18 00:06:10:03
They will bite only you!
00:06:10:03 00:06:11:09
There's tons of them!
00:06:23:14 00:06:26:20
Russians want our territories.
00:06:27:18 00:06:30:00
Why else would they
just kill people?
00:06:30:23 00:06:33:06
They must have some goal.
00:06:34:15 00:06:36:16
Why would they kill a person
without a motive?
00:06:38:13 00:06:40:18
Maybe they have old maps,
00:06:40:18 00:06:43:02
and wanted something
that was here before.
00:06:46:07 00:06:47:07
I don't know.
00:06:56:19 00:06:59:04
What are they looking for here?
00:07:03:10 00:07:05:16
The administration is at the absolutely different place.
00:07:08:16 00:07:11:04
Do you see how the missile landed?
Look!
00:07:11:16 00:07:13:11
Wait a moment please, one second.
00:07:23:22 00:07:26:08
So when the war started,
00:07:26:08 00:07:30:01
there was no basement in the house
we were living in.
00:07:30:15 00:07:33:15
We had to move into our garage
to save our lives.
00:07:34:11 00:07:41:01
But the living conditions
in the garage are terrible.
00:07:41:01 00:07:44:09
Svetlana wants to move
to a real home with the kids.
00:07:45:09 00:07:49:20
But when I'm out on the frontline,
00:07:49:20 00:07:52:12
I feel more calm knowing
they are safe in the garage.
00:08:12:21 00:08:16:16
Kristina, breakfast is ready.
00:08:28:01 00:08:32:20
I wouldn't say that
it's especially strange...
00:08:32:20 00:08:39:20
When we lived in an apartment,
we were also home alone,
00:08:39:20 00:08:42:02
because mum and dad worked.
00:08:44:04 00:08:50:06
I cooked, for myself
and Kristina my little sister, too.
00:09:02:17 00:09:07:03
One morning, when I was taking the trash out,
there were 2 small aircrafts.
00:09:07:03 00:09:15:11
And later the same day, we saw two 'shaheds' (drones)
above the base and we started shooting them.
00:09:21:06 00:09:24:11
First, we need to drive
the Russians out of our land.
00:09:26:02 00:09:29:12
It will be the end of the war
if we drive them out, Katya!
00:09:29:12 00:09:34:09
But a counteroffensive operation is not
the end of the war.
00:09:35:21 00:09:46:12
Now, we only have our friend Katya,
she lives close by with her family.
00:09:46:12 00:09:53:06
If Katya wasn't here,
life would be very boring.
00:09:56:00 00:10:00:10
The barrel on your machine gun
looks like a stork's face!
00:10:00:10 00:10:02:15
Get into the coffin like this.
00:10:28:06 00:10:32:24
Mum wants us to go home
and Dad's against it,
00:10:32:24 00:10:37:17
because he says it isn't safe
to leave yet.
00:10:37:17 00:10:42:08
But mum already lives at home
in her thoughts and her desires.
00:10:45:07 00:10:48:08
Why did we stay in the garage
and others left?
00:10:48:08 00:10:50:10
Well, this is such a question.
00:10:52:00 00:10:55:00
The comfort zone
in the garage exists.
00:10:56:12 00:10:59:12
But as a woman, I would like
to have a kitchen in one place,
00:10:59:12 00:11:03:09
a bathroom and a toilet
without having to go anywhere.
00:11:07:13 00:11:09:05
I hope everything will be fine soon,
00:11:09:05 00:11:13:14
and we will have a beautiful plot.
00:11:14:15 00:11:19:14
We will have a beautiful house
to come and relax.
00:11:28:24 00:11:31:00
Kristina, Kris!
00:11:31:00 00:11:32:15
Yes?
00:11:32:15 00:11:34:23
What would you like to eat tonight?
00:11:38:08 00:11:40:24
I don't understand such answer.
00:11:52:19 00:11:59:09
Mum, can I go to the river with aunt Ania
and Katya on Sunday if the weather's nice?
00:11:59:09 00:12:01:04
Well, we'll see what
the weather's like then.
00:12:01:04 00:12:02:16
Well, if the weather's nice...
00:12:02:16 00:12:06:05
Ah, the 29th?
00:12:06:05 00:12:07:18
Today's the 26th, mum!
00:12:07:18 00:12:09:15
So it's friday.
00:12:20:11 00:12:22:07
Do you see?
00:12:22:07 00:12:26:01
There are children
running away...
00:12:26:01 00:12:28:22
because they're afraid.
00:12:31:09 00:12:40:10
It's this morning, something was shot down in Kyiv
and fragments were flying around.
00:12:41:00 00:12:44:10
Children were passing by.
00:12:44:10 00:12:48:21
They got scared and started running
when they heard the sound of an explosion.
00:12:51:20 00:12:53:21
This is scary.
00:12:59:09 00:13:01:13
I want to go back to a home,
but I can't.
00:13:02:23 00:13:06:03
For now, this is
the safest place.
00:13:09:09 00:13:17:14
I know that there's still a war
going on in the country.
00:13:23:13 00:13:28:05
And that we have
to keep living, somehow.
00:13:47:07 00:13:49:07
Good morning.
00:13:54:18 00:13:56:18
Enough, enough!
00:14:04:21 00:14:05:21
Hi!
00:14:06:01 00:14:07:24
Where have you been?
00:14:07:24 00:14:09:00
I was sitting here.
00:14:09:00 00:14:10:09
Father-substitute!
00:14:22:01 00:14:23:01
You can do the second
one now.
00:14:24:05 00:14:26:17
But drop it here in the centre,
00:14:26:17 00:14:27:17
Not on the side.
00:14:29:15 00:14:30:15
I'll do my best.
00:14:37:00 00:14:38:09
I drive and smoke.
00:14:39:10 00:14:42:07
So the wind goes
right inside my eye.
00:14:42:07 00:14:44:12
Now this eye has puffed up.
00:15:00:10 00:15:04:17
Tomorrow I'll call to check
if we can visit a house in the country.
00:15:04:17 00:15:08:07
If it's all good,
I'll call the notary.
00:15:09:05 00:15:11:06
Let her get us an appointment,
00:15:11:06 00:15:13:08
and we'll go there.
00:15:14:02 00:15:16:22
Hopefully it'll happen soon!
00:15:16:22 00:15:19:22
Everything will be good.
00:15:21:04 00:15:23:15
We need this more
than anyone else.
00:15:32:06 00:15:33:23
This year, we'll buy it.
00:15:33:23 00:15:37:10
And next year,
we'll start a new life.
00:15:38:09 00:15:41:09
First, we need to pay
for the car.
00:15:44:13 00:15:50:01
Yes, but we can start
cleaning the area ourselves.
00:15:56:22 00:15:58:15
Let's seat the girls.
00:15:59:15 00:16:02:08
They will plow the whole
country-house.
00:16:02:08 00:16:03:08
They will!
00:16:03:08 00:16:05:11
But nobody knows
when the war will end.
00:16:07:16 00:16:09:11
I hope it ends soon...
00:16:10:13 00:16:11:13
everyone's tired of it.
00:16:12:21 00:16:13:21
Every day right now,
I have to think of
00:16:13:21 00:16:15:07
how to live
00:16:15:07 00:16:18:01
how to hide,
what to do, etc.
00:16:18:01 00:16:22:08
I have too many
problems in my head.
00:16:22:08 00:16:23:13
All piled up.
00:16:27:14 00:16:30:11
I am getting more tired,
not just physically but morally too.
00:16:33:05 00:16:34:05
Yeah.
00:16:35:22 00:16:37:23
No one knows when
it's going to end.
00:16:39:19 00:16:41:07
And how it will end.
00:16:42:11 00:16:43:24
No one knows...
00:17:00:16 00:17:05:22
It's very difficult
to live here permanently.
00:17:08:06 00:17:14:01
I'm determined to move
to a real home...
00:17:14:01 00:17:18:14
but then I remember
certain moments...
00:17:19:20 00:17:22:21
that were scary.
00:17:23:22 00:17:27:18
One day, I'll be able to come
to an agreement with Yuri.
00:17:56:13 00:17:57:13
The 'shaheds' (drones)
are flying.
00:17:57:13 00:17:58:11
Those flying things
that explode?
00:17:58:11 00:17:59:19
Yes.
00:18:06:11 00:18:09:03
Let's listen quietly,
we don't know what's going to happen.
00:18:09:03 00:18:10:10
Did you hear me?
00:18:11:07 00:18:12:07
Alina?
00:18:12:22 00:18:14:09
Did you hear what
I just said?
00:18:14:09 00:18:15:09
No.
00:18:15:09 00:18:16:09
I'm going to repeat
it once more.
00:18:16:09 00:18:18:05
Be quiet, turn everything off.
00:18:18:05 00:18:19:23
Because it's not clear
what will happen,
00:18:19:23 00:18:21:14
and we need to hear
everything clearly.
00:18:22:16 00:18:23:16
Ok?
00:19:04:07 00:19:06:21
Let's go girls!
00:19:09:24 00:19:12:02
Start pulling the grass!
00:19:19:03 00:19:22:02
There are so many
apricots there.
00:19:31:02 00:19:33:23
This is the house that
we're planning to buy.
00:19:33:23 00:19:35:22
There's a lot of work
to do here.
00:19:41:15 00:19:43:16
There are two plots in one.
00:19:45:20 00:19:47:15
And the river's very close.
00:19:48:12 00:19:50:05
We'll walk down to it.
00:19:50:05 00:19:52:09
There isn't even
a visible path here.
00:19:52:09 00:19:54:06
No, you just need to pass
by the well.
00:19:54:06 00:19:56:06
I said not even a path
is visible here.
00:19:56:06 00:19:57:23
Everything is overgrown!
00:20:00:20 00:20:02:20
The garden has some
beautiful flowers there.
00:20:02:20 00:20:04:08
Yeah, the violet ones, right?
00:20:06:20 00:20:10:08
For some reason, the rose
does not bloom.
00:20:10:08 00:20:13:01
Look there are a couple of buds!
00:20:17:22 00:20:18:22
What are you doing here?
00:20:19:22 00:20:21:09
We just arrived to see
this country-house.
00:20:22:19 00:20:25:21
So why don't you come
and clean the area up?
00:20:26:24 00:20:29:09
It's waist-deep grass,
we can mow it for you here.
00:20:29:09 00:20:31:03
We'll help you!
00:20:31:03 00:20:33:14
When? There's no time for it.
00:20:33:14 00:20:38:00
I am there (on the frontline),
not here.
00:20:38:00 00:20:39:12
I just came back
to repair the car.
00:20:39:12 00:20:42:11
Repair and go,
repair and go.
00:20:42:11 00:20:43:16
Hello slacker!
00:20:43:16 00:20:44:13
Good day?
00:20:44:13 00:20:45:10
I'm fine.
00:20:46:08 00:20:49:02
Is there still a missile here, laying
close to the river or it's exploded?
00:20:49:02 00:20:51:04
I don't know, it landed in the water.
00:20:51:04 00:20:53:18
I heard that
it didn't explode.
00:20:53:18 00:20:55:15
There was a very strong blast.
00:20:55:15 00:20:59:11
Our house jumped up
and the glass in that house shattered.
00:21:01:13 00:21:06:01
I'll let them go live in a home if
we can push Russians away further.
00:21:06:01 00:21:08:19
Or when the war ends.
00:21:22:04 00:21:24:09
No dad, I'm on foot.
00:21:25:04 00:21:27:13
I told you, I'm going to Chernivtsi today.
00:21:27:13 00:21:33:00
Tomorrow I will be registering the car there
and getting back here right away.
00:21:33:00 00:21:36:01
More likely I'll arrive at night.
00:21:37:02 00:21:39:11
See you later.
00:21:50:06 00:21:53:02
Alina, don't stray too far
from the garage,
00:21:53:02 00:21:54:17
Or I'll worry about you.
00:21:54:17 00:21:56:22
Ok mum.
00:21:57:22 00:22:00:24
I'll call you later.
If you need anything, you call, alright?
00:22:00:24 00:22:02:00
Ok.
00:22:05:06 00:22:09:23
Kristina did you hear
what I said?
00:22:09:23 00:22:12:04
Behave well and have a good day tomorrow.
00:22:14:15 00:22:16:17
We'll do our best
to arrive in the evening.
00:22:18:14 00:22:19:14
Ok.
00:22:27:08 00:22:30:11
Behave well, and don't
be bad girls.
00:22:30:11 00:22:33:00
I have asked Andrei (the neighbour)
to watch you.
00:22:33:00 00:22:34:23
No getting out of the garage!
00:22:34:23 00:22:36:14
Ok, bye!
00:22:36:14 00:22:37:14
Bye.
00:23:15:03 00:23:18:21
This is the first time
we've been here since the war started!
00:23:20:21 00:23:22:21
Let's build something?
00:23:22:21 00:23:24:24
I can clean this driftwood.
00:23:24:24 00:23:27:02
Look I found a clam.
00:23:30:19 00:23:34:17
I really want to go swimming.
00:23:36:17 00:23:40:12
There, on the other side,
they're swimming.
00:23:40:12 00:23:42:14
It must be cool for them.
00:23:44:06 00:23:46:19
People are swimming...
00:23:46:19 00:23:50:06
and we're fooling around here,
digging in the sand.
00:23:51:22 00:23:54:01
I could go swimming,
to be honest.
00:23:54:01 00:23:54:17
Me too.
00:23:56:14 00:23:58:04
Alina, can I take my shoes off?
00:23:58:04 00:23:59:10
No.
00:23:59:10 00:24:00:09
Why not?
00:24:00:09 00:24:01:15
Because no.
00:24:17:02 00:24:19:23
I want the war to end soon.
00:24:20:11 00:24:21:15
But I don't know the future.
00:24:23:03 00:24:25:17
I'd like to live like
we did before.
00:24:26:19 00:24:31:01
I don't want to sit
in the garage,
00:24:33:02 00:24:40:10
but I know we've
been attacked,
00:24:43:15 00:24:46:21
So how can I feel
free any way?
