Description:

“Summer 2019. Mysha, a 26-year-old PhD student from Kyiv, travels to Kraków to join an international research project on migrants’ lives. Soon she realizes that slogans about humanism are merely a façade for political games. She encounters the pain and tragedies of people whose lives collapse behind closed doors. Violence, betrayal, and personal loss profoundly change her. How will Mysha return home? And what awaits her there?

Real Estate is a cross-section of human destinies before the pandemic and before the full-scale war – historical shifts like tectonic movements, and our lives, like small boats drifting in an ocean of white noise. A story of uncertainty and anxiety about memories fading amid overwhelming new information, pain, tragedies, and destruction. At the same time, it is a story about love breaking through like a plant through asphalt.

The work contains depictions of erotic scenes.”
