One year after Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, we get into the car with Gamlet, Ukraine’s most famous street artist. When the Russians invaded Ukraine with a column of tanks, Gamlet received the order from his commander to keep painting. Humor is his most powerful weapon. Together with his best friend Nastia, we drive through a country at war, meeting the soldiers and artists who inspire him. They all try to maintain their lives in an impossible situation. “Broken but not destroyed.”

With Gamlet Zinkivsky
