Olesia, an 11-year-old teen from Ukraine, is growing up under the wing of her mother, away from home. Dance and touch are her ways to release anger and adjust to the reality of Brussels. Every evening Olesia waits for her dad’s call from Ukraine. The family’s extreme closeness nurtures the strength of this young girl.
