The drama, from Ivan Ostrochovský and Pavol Pekarčík looks at Ukraine families who hide in the subway tunnels of Kharkiv to escape the Russian bombing above ground.
The feature dramatizes the experiences of a Ukraine family that, like so many since the Russian invasion began, have lived much of their lives underground, seeking shelter from the shelling in the deep-dug metro stations of the country’s main cities.
The film follows 12-year-old Niki and his family who live in the tunnels of the Kharkiv subway station. For Niki’s family, daylight is synonymous with mortal danger, and the only illumination the boy knows is the constant glow of the subway’s neon lights. While aimlessly wandering around the abandoned cars and full platforms, Niki meets 11-year-old Vika and the pair decide to risk a trip to the surface, to feel the sun on their faces.
