War is a human tragedy, but we should not forget that nature suffers alongside us. Without a narrator’s voice, the film unfolds like a metaphysical symphony: we see forests turned to ash, fields scarred by explosions, and the skeletal remains of military equipment. And yet nature does not give up – nor does man. While one side sows death, the other – deminers, body recovery teams, and ecologists – document the aftermath of the tragedy and try to restore Ukraine’s fragile ecosystems. Even with the war still thundering on the horizon, a persistent rebirth is taking place here.
