This collective documentary, created by the Lithuanian film community, comprised of over 100 filmmakers, captures a year of solidarity with Ukraine following the Russian invasion. The invasion in February 2022 drastically altered the lives of all Ukrainians and disrupted the peace in Europe. Those directly affected by the war faced a stark choice: to fight or to flee. The farther from the front lines, the more questions emerged: whether to stay engaged or turn a blind eye, to welcome refugees or turn them away, to contribute aid or join the fight? The Lithuanian film community united voluntarily for this collective project, aiming to document the events during this challenging period in their country. The central figure in this observational documentary is an individual intimately connected to the war: a passerby, a protester, a volunteer, a medic. This film stands as a unique record of the time and the unprecedented unity experienced. Questions about whether enough was done, if these efforts could become a myth and guide for future generations, and the impact on the war's outcome are explored. Did we influence the course of the conflict, or did we tire and surrender too soon? Individuals grappling with these inquiries bring us closer to our own nature, often revealed most profoundly in moments of conflict.
