30 years since the renewal of Ukraine’s independence is a milestone - tan age of maturity of a person and of a state. A time when together we can remember our path and find the answers to the questions: "What's next? What do we aspire to?

I’d like to invite you to join my journey through Ukraine. I will show you our country as I see it. And I’ll invite you to my conversation with people whose thoughts are important to me. People who dare to speak honestly about our successes and failures, our ups and downs, about what’s true and what isn’t. People who would never be indifferent when it comes to our country’s future.

#A_real_story film is a challenge for me personally since it isn’t just a film in the usual sense. These are the recollections of events that have affected each and every one of us, and the reflections on our future.
