While the Candle Is Burning
2018, Ukrainian. Directed by Viktor Pryduvalov.
A teenage girl, a resident of the metropolis, on Holodomor Remembrance Day, decides to fight the lack of candles in the windows of high-rise buildings around her. Properly prepared, she enters the porches and places candles on all available windows. On the stairs, she encounters a man who is initially hostile to the girl's actions. After a short and sharp conversation, the ATO veteran decides to help the girl. There is a certain artistic parallel between honoring the victims of one terror - the Holodomor - and the heavy losses of modern Ukraine.
