    • Trivia
      Just before the credits, there is a message: On 24th February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Two days prior, the children were evacuated by staff to the western region; but with war raging across the country, nowhere in Ukraine is safe.

    What hope do any children have...
    I appreciate documentaries as these ,sometimes feel it's all sad music and encroach emotions but..situations such as these happen all over the world,not just Ukraine.

    While heartbreaking,I felt after watching it,these poor kids will be lost in some system,probably forever. They seem as if they don't have a chance. Parents who don't care and children who are too young to understand that they could be forgotten and want to come across as tough,hard lined and would,hopefully,survive life.

    The staff are beautiful as they don't give up and genuinely care for these kids unconditionally,but know it's to no avail.

    Kids that age don't really know what's going on. In a house with others that are hardened to the reality that they won't leave,or simply return,they mould the younger to emulate them...some kind of legacy for them.

    For what is going on in Eastern Europe at the moment,it's a heartbreaking reminder of the lost,abandoned children of a war they will never understand and any war doesn't really solve anything ,conflict just holds a grudge against it's "enemy" ,only to to show its ugly head again years later and more innocents suffer.

    Beautiful but heartbreaking and I wish the women who run the establishment thanks for genuinely caring for these lost souls.
