In the still hours of Kharkiv's curfewed nights, a quiet resilience hums through its empty streets.

Night Shift is a short film capturing people who work under the cover of darkness, navigating both routine and risk as Russia often attacks when residents try to sleep. Those who stay awake to work do so for the city's survival. The film explores how Ukraine's second largest city has transformed because of war, its collective hope that dawn will arrive quietly, and the human need to carry on.
