The heroine lives in Kyiv in the present and sees dreams with the recurring motif that takes place eighty years ago. In these dreams, she searches for her home and waits for her beloved husband. The dreams are permeated with fear and the foreboding of a war that could leave her without a husband and home. The film was conceived as a psychoanalytical visual essay on how a subject who has experienced loss tries to assemble themselves from splinters: fragments of memories, dreams, bodily sensations - to find this new self-image 'on the other side of the mirror' after the Other has disappeared. The film intertwines several time periods: the pre-war period of the 1940s, the pre-war days of 2022 and the time of the unconscious, which is not linked to the chronology of events but to living in a state of trauma and loss. 'From Splinters' was shot before the Russian full-scale invasion began, while the editing phase took place during the war. While filming, the team had no idea that the war would soon cover the entire territory of Ukraine.
