“I have no words to say” is a phrase one can often hear when the reality of war is so striking that language seems incapable of describing it. While studying in Bruxelles, Daryna Mamaisur is caught up in the russian full-scale invasion of her country. In springtime, when chestnut trees are blooming simultaneously in Brussels and Kyiv, she makes a film capturing that distant spring. Maintaining a visual correspondence with a friend from Kyiv, she faces the question: while making a film about war, how does one speak about a wound that is fresh and ongoing?
