The story of a little girl who wakes up on February 24th because of the air alert, and tries to find someone living in the burning city. The main character is based on the story of Alisa, a 4-year-old girl, who stayed in the besieged Mariupol during the whole time; she was also at the Azovstal plant during the last month of its defense. When the Russians allowed the civilians to evacuate from Azovstal, Alisa was separated from her mother.
Reviews
Too much of everything
Such a frustrating disappointment
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
