My Grandmother is a Skydiver

Alfyia, a joyful young woman in 1960s Central Asia, is actively parachuting and studying to become a midwife, when she receives an extraordinary phone call from her granddaughter in 2022. She is worried about her grandmother's safety amid the invasion of Ukraine. In this intergenerational conversation across time and space, the granddaughter tries to rethink family memory and her own ethnic identity, break the endless cycle of collective trauma and reflect on the meaning of human life.
