Ёжик (yozhik) - 1. hedgehog 2. buzz cut

When Lena is forced to leave her home, she does not realize, she will lose her roots. Many years of her life are determined and closure is a long process. And it is when I hear her story that a simple visit to the zone turns to a search and to an artistic challenge.

The visit took place in 2016, but the decision to make the film came afterwards. No pre-production phase meant that instead a lengthy research and many trials to find the right form were needed. Going back was not an option. It took more than a year to finish the film.
