The World Is Not Made combines three distinct narratives: about contemporary artist Inna in France and war-torn Ukraine, revolutionary Oleksii on the steppe fighting with anarchists, and peasant Lesia in the mountains of Austro-Hungary. Across more than 200 years, each generation faces novel challenges while attempting to remain true to themselves and their values. Everyone must answer questions of what it means to make something new: a country, a person, an idea. And furthermore, why bother?
