Hindsight documents journeys that lay forgotten in a closet in Kyiv for nearly twenty years. The material on these VHS cassettes was shot in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union by a young Ukrainian couple as they set out to explore the world beyond their borders for the first time. Delivered from the perspective of their son, now in the US and unable to travel back to Ukraine due to martial law, the essay-style short delves into the elusive nature of roots and cultural values – looking back at what they were back then and confronted with the reality of what they are today.
