Overview

A few years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a boy who once fled the country returns through a robotic dog. His mechanical avatar wanders through his old neighborhood, visiting relatives, friends, and his childhood home. During this remote journey, he immerses himself in childhood memories and reconnects with his past. The work explores how children forced to leave their homeland maintain an emotional bond with it, and how technology, both a tool of war, reshapes their sense of belonging and resilience.
