Director's Comments

I find it frightening and ridiculous that such terrible events take place in Europe in the 21st century. Thousands of people suffer and die because of one little "man" with great complexes. Entire towns and villages are destroyed.

I would love to help all the defenders and the innocent victims. Unfortunately I am not a soldier and I would be useless at battlefield. So I started doing what I can do a little better I hope. I have spent the last few weeks in the studio working on the stop motion animation for Ukraine.

I thought I would finish sooner... but maybe it is a good thing because I have the impression that everyone is slowly forgetting about this pointless war. And it becomes something normal, ordinary. Something we are used to...

Violent war continues in Ukraine and all the help is needed. Weapons, medications and food. These things cost money. I encourage you to make donations directly to Ukraine without any middleman.

Donations directly to the army can be made on the website of the National Bank of Ukraine:
