description
Two and a half years after the start of the full scale invasion of Ukraine, a group of Ukrainian artists and volunteers arrive at Burning Man to create a larger than life art installation. This group of mostly strangers soon becomes a family as they work together to build this massive sculpture. Composed entirely of real road signs collected from de-occcupied Ukrainian territories – each one bearing the scars of war – the sign spells out the phrase “I’M FINE” in giant letters, a raw symbol of how people hide their pain behind words as life continues. Through intimate interviews and vérité footage, the film explores how this artwork channels trauma into resilience, transforming the debris of war and destruction into a bold message of truth and solidarity.
