All is well

2025 · 94 min

A warm, observational documentary about daily life in a shelter for Ukrainian refugees in the Dutch town of Weesp. The communal kitchen is the place where Svetlana, Natasha and Zoia share memories. Food is prepared in abundance, pots filled with both pain and comfort. For Zoia it is an escape from her room, where the photo of her fallen son evokes unspeakable grief. She cuts, chops, kneads, stirs and serves food. Every day she has a video call with her husband at the front, and every day she begs him to leave the battlefield.
