Synopsis
Following Ukraine’s Maidan Revolution in 2014, Vitaly Mansky embarks on a trip to Lviv, where he was born, to visit his Ukrainian relatives. Crisscrossing the country, he takes the temperature of a nation on the verge of drastic change.
Editorial
Using his own fractious family as a synecdoche for national divisions and allegiances, Vitaly Mansky rakes through deeply felt personal histories with an anthropologist’s sharp-eyed detachment. This haunting time capsule—showing a nation on the brink of emergency—only grows in relevance.
