A temporary house for abandoned children near the front line in eastern Ukraine is run by a small group of social workers determined to provide comfort and safety. It may be humble and somewhat run-down, but this house is filled with love and offers up to nine months of refuge to kids whose fate will be determined by the system. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
“A House Made of Splinters” is a heart-wrenching portrayal of the less visible impacts of war one that many countries, not just Ukraine, know all too well and a beacon of hope nonetheless.
"Every child leaves a lasting mark on the shelter's worn out walls." There is a new official trailer available for an indie documentary film titled A House Made of Splinters, from Danish director Simon Lereng Wilmont. This Danish-Swedish-Ukrainian co-production first premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival last year, and stopped by numerous other festivals
