“My birthday is the brightest day of my life. My birthday always starts at the cemetery”. This is the autobiographical film about the perceiving intertwining meanings of life and death that I started to experience from the very beginning of my life – from a day of my birthday. The day that I always started at the grave of my grandpa who worked for KGB. I was lucky (or not) to be born on May 9th – Ukrainian national commemoration day of the WWII. Oblivion and memory, obeying the tradition and wish to celebrate the life – all things had mixed on that graveyard. But once I received a chance to escape from there. (cinedoc)
