Single mother Anna and her four children live in the front-line war zone of Donbas, Ukraine. While the outside world is made up of bombings and chaos, the family is managing to keep their home as a safe haven, full of peace and light. Every member of the family has a passion for cinema, motivating them to shoot a film inspired by their own life during a time of war.
Winner of the Documentary Directing Award at the Sundance Festival, The Earth Is Blue as an Orange borrows its title from a poem by the poet Paul Eluard. The intimate and striking documentary is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of cinema.
