2019 Directed by Mathieu Grimard
For Ian Golovin, the death of his father is the chance at a new life outside his native country. As he prepares to leave and bid farewell to his sister, he is forced to face his decision — why he is always blindly moving forward and what he is leaving behind.

Je sais pas trop je suis supposé m'attacher à quoi, mais bon... À quoi ça sert le storytelling quand c'est jolie?
It seems strange that a Canadian film uses the Ukranian language and deals with the problems of a Ukrainian guy. But hey, why not?
However, the guy isn't comfortable in his high-rise district and shares his farewell thoughts with the viewer. Somehow isn't really able to leave. A very usual story, that's nearly not worth mentioning.
i just had to rewatch this because i somehow became addicted to it. i think i could watch it a thousand times without getting tired of it. ian’s situation just feels so personal to me. it touches me on a very special level and so far no other short film could achieve that. i even think this could’ve worked as a feature film but i’m glad it’s “just” a short so i can protect it as my personal little treasure ✨
can a film make you feel numb but also very fulfilled at the same time? i think the answer is yes!
Assez poseur comme film. J'ai zéro aimé le protagoniste. Ça finit par un regard caméra, heh.
My favourite short film from the Berlinale Generation Shorts (14 Plus) Programme <3
We act our parts and people watch. You think changing the audience, you'll change who you are?
stunning picture whirl into a poetic story of leaving and staying. while watching i had an entirely different association to the story than what was intended by the creators - but isn't that exactly the beauty of cinema!? an imbuing cinematic experience!
People are missing so much about this film, some are confuse in the storytelling and others by the fact that it is a quebecers film in Ukraine about a ukrainian guy. It is a touching film about mourning. Everyone experience lost, everyone have a hard time to cope with the lost of someone at some point, no matter where you live in the world, it is universal. The fact that it is a french canadian film in Ukraine in a foreign language express exactly that. It's not random, it's clever.
