Відкритий світ (Homecoming)

| Muscle Memory
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

A few years after fleeing Ukraine following the Russian invasion, a boy returns home via a robotic dog, his mechanical avatar, which he controls from his room in Poland. Through this remote presence, he relives memories and reconnects with his past – a connection that now depends on a fragile video stream that could be cut off at any moment.
