Poland, 2025, 28 min., Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, English with English and Bulgarian subtitles, dir. Krzysztof Kopczyński
Inga lives in Warsaw on Daedalus Street, named after the mythological architect who escaped from the labyrinth using beeswax wings. She moved to Poland with her blind parents, along with five cats and a dog, after Russia invaded Ukraine on her fifth birthday. Inga enjoys blowing out candles on birthday cakes because she then gets to make a wish. She also loves her camera, a torch, and a toy horse with spinning legs which her mother bought for her in Krivyi Rih. Although Inga often guides her parents, she cannot accompany her dad on his trip to Ukraine, where he returns to handle unfinished affairs.
