Can You Hear Me?

Nastia, who has been living abroad for years, connects with her mother via Zoom to teach her how to use online tools. What seems like a purely technical conversation quickly reveals communication difficulties, generational differences, and issues that spark family tensions. The screen-mediated conversation, observed by the camera, becomes a space for confronting unspoken experiences and emotions. Each attempt at understanding exposes not only physical distance but also emotional distance. Divided into three chapters, the film is an intimate story about closeness, memory, and the effort to rebuild family bonds from afar.
