This video work is Varvara’s graduation thesis. By the time she defends her diploma, there have already been many dead Ukrainian boys. Varya just couldn’t help but pay tribute to them. Illia studied at the same institute, he was talented, handsome and courageous. From the very first days, he volunteered to defend the country from the enemy. Varya gathered actors who had evacuated to Germany, staged a play based on Illia’s poems with them and then made a film about how the locals perceive the words of the fallen Ukrainian poet.
