A basement. A small radio plays a folk song. A girl draws a sunflower on a cardboard box. She adds a blue sky. Tenth angel: the one who draws a future in a shelter.
No credits. Only a soft sound of wind through a linden tree. LS---Ukrainian--Gentle--Angels-Sets-01-13
Thirteenth angel: the one who looks back at the world and forgives it for needing so many gentle angels. A basement
Same woman, different room. She is folding a child’s shirt. Her hands pause mid-fold. For two seconds, she stares at a crack in the wall. The second angel: the one who holds grief in her shoulders and still makes the bed. She adds a blue sky
Last long shot. The same kitchen as Set 01. The same woman. Now she is alone at the table, drinking tea. She looks directly at the camera—just once. Then she smiles, barely. Then she looks away.
Outside now. A courtyard with a single linden tree. Two old men play chess on a concrete slab. One has a bandaged hand. No one speaks. The third angel: silence between men who have seen tanks.
