A HOUSE MADE OF SPLINTERS
In a war-worn and impoverished corner of Eastern Ukraine where addiction casts a long shadow, there sits a safe haven for children temporarily removed from their parents. Three kids await their fate – will they go back or move on to a new home – while a group of dedicated social workers create small moments of joy and respite from childhood all but lost.
