A film from the series ‘Chosen by Time’.

At the heart of the story is the outstanding figure of Ivan Kotliarevskyi, a humanist and writer, an enlightener, the first classic of Ukrainian literature, the author of the famous Eneida, and the creator of the gem of Ukrainian drama, Natalka Poltavka.

An investigative documentary dedicated to the fate of children who suffered from Russia’s full-scale war unleashed against Ukraine. As a basis of our story, we take the fate of a child whose toy horse was found at the railway station in the city of Kramatorsk after it was hit by two Russian missiles in April 2022. Seven children died at the station then. Was the owner of the toy horse among them? Did the owner of the toy lose his/her parents? Our film will investigate this case to the end.

We will expose the most resonant facts about children who suffered from the war, track the further ways of those who managed to survive, investigate and tell what made up their lives before the war.

An old and lonely robot walks around the city and tries to get people's attention. He only wants to be a useful friend, but it seems that the old model is no longer needed.

The film is part of an almanac of Ukrainian short films P.S. Kyiv Comic Con.
