When Lightning flashes over the Sea

A cinematic journey through war-scarred Odessa. With sensitivity and poetic images, director Eva Neymann captures the dreams of the darkened city and the different lives of its residents: children’s dreams and painful memories, street cats in the twilight, flirtations and military call-ups come together to form stories of loss, hope, and resistance.
