Le 24 février 2022, le soir du jour où la Russie a commencé sa guerre de conquête avec l'Ukraine, j'ai quitté d'urgence Kyiv et je suis entré en isolement forcé. Kyiv a commencé à être bombardée de missiles de croisière et j'ai déménagé dans le village de Morozivka, à 50 km de Kyiv. Je pensais que la vie y serait plus sûre.

Une semaine plus tard, la guerre était à 20 km de l'endroit où je logeais. Nous avons entendu 24 heures sur 24 des explosions et des coups de feu, et une semaine plus tard, nous nous sommes habitués à ces bruits. Déjà début avril, l'armée ukrainienne a chassé les troupes russes des villages voisins et c'est devenu calme ici. Petit à petit, j'ai commencé à retrouver une mobilité dans mon corps et à sortir de la torpeur. J'ai alors décidé de tourner quelques vidéos d'improvisations afin de regarder de l'extérieur les transformations corporelles qui m'arrivaient. Tout le temps avant cela, je me sentais complètement paralysé - je ne pouvais pas me forcer à bouger ou à faire quoi que ce soit. La seule chose que je pouvais faire était d'écrire de la poésie - soudain, les pensées et les sentiments ont commencé à prendre la forme de mots. 

Lorsque j'analyse ma perception des événements et des informations pendant cette période, j'ai l'impression que tout est devenu complètement noir et blanc. Les demi-teintes ont disparu et toutes les personnes ont été divisées en "amis" et "ennemis". Dans les textes, que j'ai commencé à collecter sur Facebook, je cherchais ces mêmes demi-teintes pour ramener la capacité de ressentir dans ma vie. C'est aussi devenu la capacité de préserver la perception imaginative du monde au-delà du bien et du mal.

J'ai senti qu'il était important d'immortaliser ce moment. C'est ainsi que le film sort de son isolement en temps de guerre.
