The first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. People caught by time and in space, facing an uncertain here and now, choose to abandon what they hold most precious as they climb straight into the dusty van with foreign plates. It traverses tens of thousands of kilometers serving various functions: waiting room, hospital, shelter, and zone for confidences and confessions, which are shared among travelers thrown together by chance. In the Rearview is a collective portrait composed of the experiences of those who have a single goal: finding a safe haven amid the throes of war. In the van, the temporary asylum for all of them, their differences in gender, age, skin tone, physical condition, origin, identity, worldviews, and faith drop away.
