In the suburbs of Donetsk, a shell hit Natalia Petrovna’s house. The children are carrying the family and their belongings that were saved into a Soviet-era air-raid shelter. And yet they consider themselves lucky: “The important thing is that everyone is alive.”
On the other side of the front line, in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Svetlodarsk, lives a Petrovna who looks a lot like the first one, she is the same age. She was lucky, the shell hit the neighbors’ house, only her attic burned. She watches the video of the first Petrovna and sympathizes: “It’s the same as back home.”
As before, on both sides live very similar people suffering from the nightly bombings. They don’t care who will be the winner. The film "A House in the Rain" shows that this war hits hardest those who are weakest, who do not participate in political debates, and who live simply hoping that this day will not be the last.
