Life Is Naive Art

The documentary presents a poignant narrative about the people of Ivankiv, a town near the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. With a population of about 8,000, Ivankiv experienced a harrowing period of Russian occupation from February 24 to April 1, during which local landmarks, including the museum of artist Maria Prymachenko, were bombed.

Through the eyes of children attending the Maria Prymachenko School of Arts, the film captures their artistic endeavors as they create works inspired by the famed artist. Despite the turmoil of air raids, drone attacks, and power outages, these children express their experiences and the profound effects of war on their lives through music and visual arts. This documentary serves as a testament to the strength and creativity of a community facing adversity.
