In war-torn Ukraine, a family weighs the dangers of abandoning their makeshift bunker for the promise of freedom abroad.
In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a young family endures life in Mykolaiv's underground shelter, “The Garages.”
As the front line shifts, volunteer soldier Yuri is determined to keep his family safe underground even as his neighbors return to life outside. But his wife, Svetlana, longs for a normal home, and her teenage daughters grow increasingly restless about the isolation.
When the opportunity for a new life in the countryside arises, the family must come to terms, balancing their dreams and fears.
Ukraine: Escape from the Dark is a film by Clement Gargoullaud.
