12 March, 2022, Poprad, Slovakia: 20-year-old Anna Radchuk is caressed by her mother Tatiana (Tanya). Anna is one among a couple of families staying in a repurposed parsonage belonging to the Poprad Lutheran Church, opened up by the local parish as a way of offering accommodation to incoming refugees from Ukraine.

Anna and her family fled from their home in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine following the Russian invasion of the country. While the family wanted to stay and were long incredulous to the possibility of a war being immanent, when Russian missiles hitting the city started destroying houses in their own neighbourhood, they realised they had to flee. With support from the Red Cross, they made it to Vyšné Nemecké, the border crossing connecting Slovakia with the city of Uzhgorod in Ukraine, and found refuge in Slovakia.
