The title wordplay EXIST & EXIT prompts reflection on how history is made: what truly exists and what proves to be an illusion… Can culture and art contribute to a society’s growth – or can they also destroy when used as instruments of propaganda?
We live in a time when myths of national and cultural greatness collide with the real values of human life and freedom. Can culture break the deadlock and help us overcome crisis?
EXI(S)T is based on documentary events from the life of a single family – one among tens of thousands of such stories in Ukraine. It is a story of pain, but also of strength, confidence and love.
