In Kyiv, Oksana rescues a parrot left behind by a fleeing neighbour. Ilyas returns to the Ukrainian capital for the first time in over a month. Here, he meets with his 84-year-old grandmother who shares stories of nazi occupation and makes comparisons with today. And we return to Oksana once more as she reflects on how the war is impacting her marriage.
