Loneliness. The sound of silence day after day for years. All these people live alone for decades. During the shooting, I asked everyone what they dream of. I was shocked by their answers. To fall asleep and no longer wake up is what my heroes want.

Love. Home. Motherland
This is my home. My great-grandfather's mother was born here. I'm not sure about our family history before that. It is here where my family survived the Holodomor. It’s my family’s place of power.
There is nothing tastier than grandma's soup. There is nothing better than tea from your favorite cup. Love.
