“This contemporary and unapologetic project is told from the perspective of the community it describes and impressed the jury by making visible the small and big questions within the LGBTQI+ community in Kyiv, Ukraine during the occupation. One of the qualities of this pitch lies within the intent of the filmmakers own question; war is the most intense and devastation experience one can go through. But can it also be the most liberating? We hope the prize money will help the project to develop further and explore this subject in more detail”, the jury commented on their choice.

The Stockholm International Film Festival took place on November 9-20, 2022.
