Yuriy is a man of art. He is the head of the Avant-Garde Museum NGO. His story is both a personal experience of a full-scale war (including concussion from an explosion) and a story about the life of Ukrainian art during the war.

This is a story about how the foundations were saved. How, despite all the difficulties, they managed to reopen the world of paintings to people. What a transformation in the views on art the war caused.
