Sixteen scenes from one ordinary day in a city where danger became part of everyday life.
watch
People listen to the sky and tell by sound what's flying. They check the outage schedule before deciding when to leave the house. They mark themselves with a plus sign in the family chat, so everyone knows they're alive.
A woman scolds her husband outside a supermarket: at your age you should be able to tell a drone from a missile. A shop assistant stops mid-sale to call her brother home. Someone picks the scorched detergent box from a row of undamaged ones.
Nothing is explained. Nothing is dramatised. The film doesn't say this isn't normal — it shows a day in which it is.
All scenes are based on real observations.
Nothing here is invented.
The plus sign is what people send in family chats during an air raid. It means: I'm here. I’m alive.

PROCESS
Every scene in this film I saw myself.
The pensioners outside the supermarket, the shop assistant calling her brother, the scorched box on the shelf, the cat moved from the balcony to the carrier as the threat level rises — none of it is invented. This is what I have been looking at for four years.
The hardest part was leaving it alone. The obvious way to make a film about this is to explain how it feels. But the moment a voice appears to tell you that, the thing you came to see disappears.
So there is no narrator. Six lines of dialogue, all of them ordinary. Everything else is shown and left there.
The animation is watercolour and ink on paper — drawing removes the documentary quality; the same scenes filmed would read as a report. The sound is real: air raid recordings over drawn images.
