The Earth Is Blue as an Orange

How can cinema heal the wounds of war? How does a camera transform the reality of a war zone? What’s the difference between “shooting” a film and “shooting” a fire gun? And how could on or off-frame action give new dimensions to the tightest blood bonds? Α fascinating observational documentary tackles these questions, following a family that lives in war-stricken Donbas, Ukraine. Despite the awfulness that surrounds them, Anna and her four children remain positive and even decide to shoot an autobiographical film. Borrowing its title from the work of the Surrealist poet Paul Éluard, this life-affirming documentary invites us to redirect reality.
