Вівці цілі

Even when time seems to freeze, winter comes. The sky turns grey, dry grass rustles, and garlands flicker to the hum of generators, more for light than for celebration. People live the war as best they can and make their choices as they can: let go, or keep their own safe whatever the cost? In the snowy reeds of the Dnipro, on empty streets running down from the hills to the highway, in dark houses where poppy seeds are scattered on thresholds against evil and the souls of the dead come to the Christmas table, Yana steps through a hole in a fence and becomes entangled in dilemmas with no right questions or answers, but with Maksym, uncertainty, love and sheep. The rituals of the Christmas cycle hold the characters together.
