From Home to the Front: Sharing a Meal
2025•2m•Released
War
A mother teaches her son how to cook borscht using an old family recipe. She shares little tips and secrets, points out important details, and recalls family anecdotes along the way. The son asks questions and clarifies steps. They share this poignant moment of generational closeness — cooking together, chopping together, simmering together, chatting, setting the table… …until it becomes clear they’ve been speaking over video call the entire time. The son is making his mother’s borscht in a house near the Zaporizhzhia front line, while the mother is in Poltava. He calls his fellow soldiers to the table and thanks his mom.
