Set in 1944 Ukraine, Sunflower follows Danka, a 7-year-old girl whose world is shattered when Soviet forces raid her village. Separated from her father and forced onto a repatriation train with her mother and sister, Danka clings to a magical sunflower that glows only for her. As she navigates the trauma of war through a child’s eyes, the sunflower becomes her compass—guiding her through snow-covered forests, occupied towns, and her own imagination in search of the truth. Blending historical drama with magical realism, Sunflower is a poetic coming-of-age story about loss, resilience, and the enduring power of memory.
