Obiimy (Обійми) is a story about trauma, isolation, and the healing power of connection. Set on the morning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the film follows a young woman named Kateryna as she confronts the sudden rupture of ordinary life. Alone in her apartment, accompanied only by her cat Ponchyk, she moves through shock, fear, and uncertainty.

As Kateryna imagines her world falling apart and losing all that she loves, she encounters a quiet but profound choice: whether to remain isolated in her distress or reach out for help. Created to raise awareness of free crisis counseling available to Ukrainians, Obiimy is both a personal story and a gesture of care. It is an offering of presence, solidarity, and human connection.

A volunteer project, this CTA for the National Psychological Association brought together artists from around the world.
