At least 100.000 ukrainians have lost a limb at war, according to Kiev authorities, since the invasion by Russia in 2022.
An Internationally-led group of therapists is trying to face this aspect of the war’s cruelty, treating amputated Ukrainian soldiers in the country’s largest rehabilitation centre, in Lviv.
"hands, trees, heads and scars" is a short documentary that quietly observes their work, and is punctuated by the stories recounted by the wounded soldiers during the sessions.
Our most sincere thanks goes firstly to ДНП «Центр комплексної реабілітації «Галичина» , without the need to explicitate the importance of life-changing places like this and to Khrystyna Tsvigun for what she does everyday and for supporting us in this journey.
And then to all to these extraordinary people we crossed in our path, for what they are doing and for letting us portray this story.
