In the words of the director Kateryna Gornostai, "We focused on the everyday moments and simple school experiences, like tears during the first bell ceremony, a senior playing Saint Nicholas, and the colorful ribbons in the hands of graduates.

Students often study in shelters due to air raids, the principal shows the damaged and sealed-off parts of the school while lessons continue in another wing, and an online graduation is marked by a bell taken out of Bakhmut.

"Zoya Lytvyn, founder of Osvitoria said about the film, "We want to remind the world that the war in Ukraine continues, children and teachers are paying a devastating price for the fundamental right to education.
