Movie about people in wheelchairs
In Ukraine, most of people in wheelchairs have a very difficult life. The infrastructure and buildings, inherited from the Soviet Union, are inaccessible for people with disabilities. Thousands of them do not leave their apartments for months because they have no chances to study and to work.
Nevertheless, in Ukraine we do not see disabled people in ordinary life, what creates an image that they simply don’t exist. That’s why, people don’t talk about this serious social problem at all.
We believe that it is important to show through arts that this problem does exist in Ukraine. It is one of the most important steps to make a change! That’s how we decided to make a first Ukrainian short movie about people in wheelchairs.
What is this film about?
Genre: psychological/social drama
Short summary:
This movie is about the hard life of a young talented woman in a wheelchair. After the car accident, she cannot walk, and her life is limited to four walls of her room.
She meets a guy, who helps her to go forward after years of depression and desperation. Eventually they change each other, inspire each other to follow their dreams and struggle for their chance to be happy.
Even though he falls in love on her, she decides that it I would be too hard for him to build relationships with her in Ukraine. She wants to stay, but needs to move to the United States to study, to work and live a normal life.
7 years afterwards, she goes back to Ukraine and creates a charity organization for people with disabilities.
This movie is about abnormal human persistence, inner strength and hope for the future. Life circumstances force the main character to leave the Motherland to seek a better life and, at the same time, encourage her to go back home and fight for the better future.
We illustrate that such people, who went through unhuman pain and desperation, and didn’t give up, are the ones, who can really make a change!
