Hair up

A short film by Mariia Vissarova

Synopsis:

Hanna, a passionate Ukrainian actress, has spent a year in Berlin, juggling exhausting cinema shifts with countless unsuccessful auditions. When she finally lands a major role in an international production, there’s one catch—it will be filmed in Kyiv. At the same time, her survival job offers her a promotion, securing her financial future. Now, she must choose between a stable life in Berlin or a return to Ukraine, where war is still ongoing.

"Hair Up" is a film about ambition, sacrifice, and the resilience of artists in uncertain times.
