The Earth Is Blue as an Orange

Trauma is transformed into poetry in this multi-award-winning nonfiction film that focuses on a single mother and her four children living in a small town in the war-ravaged Donbass region of Ukraine during 2014-15. The whole clan is passionate about cinema, so they collaborate on this film inspired by their surreal lives, turning their home into a creative refuge from the destructive war raging outside. “An intimate and surprisingly playful family’s eye view of life in the Ukraine warzone.” –Screen Daily. Subtitles. 74 min.
