One Aloe, One Ficus, One Avocado and Six Dracaenas
Synopsis
What to take, what to leave? How important are physical things when you're trying to save your life? Packages from Ukraine, filled with everything and nothing, wait patiently under a bridge to be found, while a voice conjures up memories of frivolous and precious objects, seemingly sending Kyiv a heart-rending farewell letter.
