"Can you pro­tect my light from the wind?" is the sto­ry of a fri­endship; a sto­ry of mu­tu­al so­li­da­ri­ty and care across a bor­der drawn by war right through Eu­ro­pe. Di­rec­tor and ac­tor Tris­tan Steeg and di­rec­tor and do­cu­men­ta­ry thea­ter ar­tist Yev­he­niia Vi­dish­che­va from Kyiv have em­bar­ked on a jour­ney of dis­co­very. In their ar­tis­tic re­se­arch, they ex­plo­re the dis­crepan­cy bet­ween their worlds. They vi­sit each other's ho­mes and get to know each other's fa­mi­lies. Вони відвідують рідні міста одне одного, знайомляться з родинами та друзями. They talk about grief. About fear. About an­ger. About war. About be­au­ty. Про страх. Про гнів. Про війну. Про красу. About safe­ty and se­cu­ri­ty. About iden­ti­ty. And how to be the­re for each other. What a home is. Що таке дім. And what hap­pens when it is at­ta­cked. They trans­la­te for each other and sha­re their sto­ries and pain in an at­tempt to re­spond to a vio­lent world of mul­ticri­ses. Намагаючись захистити одне одного.
