​

Tasya Zaslavskaya, an 18-year-old film student from St. Petersburg moves through three countries as she is forced to leave Russia with her parents in March 2022, owing to their opposition to President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Driven by a need to make sense of the situation, Tasya turns on her camera, as she reckons with the cost of war, adulthood, dislocation, loneliness and the realisation that she may have lost her home forever.
