With that haunting name I've just read the synopsis.Unlike my ukrainian bros I've not lived through being bombed, and I'm with you on not living even through a cartoonish imitation of it. Shit's scarrier than horrors.

It's the intensely personal and utterly human depiction of devastating personal loss set against a backdrop of millions of people implied to be experiencing equally devastating personal losses. You can feel a black chasm of sorrow beginning to open up underneath you, which is the point at which I tapped out. Deeply, existentially challenging piece of art.
