Synopsis
"Katya, a fiercely independent young welder, embarks on a raw and emotional journey to reconnect with her estranged family. Haunted by a traumatic childhood, Katya unexpectedly finds herself caring for her little half-sister, determined to protect the child’s fragile world from a harsh reality. As their bond grows deeper, Katya is faced with a heart-wrenching dilemma that will not only determine her own future, but also give her sister a chance for a better life. With its arresting imagery and intimate access, this compelling coming-of-age portrait explores the weight of responsibility, the power of forgiveness and the cost of love in the face of impossible circumstances. It’s a quietly powerful story of survival, sacrifice and sisterhood."
