It is a hot summer day in August 2022. Harvesting is in progress in the Polish countryside. It follows the same routine as every year until is it interrupted by an unexpected aberration. This six-minute film miniature offers a surprising take on the multi-layer crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. In the form of contemplation cinema, the artists have managed to capture how global changes may influence a local community and its microworld, where real life, not manipulated by the media, goes on.
