Synopsis

The film follows Lika, a young girl forced to flee the war with her little sister and mother, leaving her father behind. Haunted by fear and loss, Lika finds freedom in her dreams where she learns to fly. Her flights become a symbol of escape from the bombs, the terror, and the constant threat of death. When she tells her little sister about it, the four-year-old, who truly believes Lika can fly, asks softly, “Then why don’t you fly to Papa?” And so, Lika does – at least in her dreams.
