„The Earth is Blue as an Orange“ (UA/LT) a first time feature length film by Iryna Tsilyk, tells a story of a family coping with the daily trauma of living in the front-line war-zone of Donbas and facing down hardship with remarkable resilience. Anna and her children are making a film together about their life in the most surreal surroundings.
Radu Ciorniciuc’s debut “Acasa, My Home” (RO/ FI/ DE) follows the dramatic change in the life of Enache family which is chased out from the wilderness of the Bucharest’s Delta and forced to adapt to the big city.
