"Number 17; My House of Horrors" follows the tragic transformation of a single-family home in Vuhledar, Ukraine, amidst the destructive forces of war. The story begins with Marina, a homeowner who, along with her husband and two children, built her dream home on Sadovaya Street, 17, in Vuhledar. This house was a symbol of love, family, and stability, filled with the warmth of daily life and celebrations. But when war struck in February 2022, their home became a place of unspeakable sorrow, and their lives were abruptly upended. Olexii’s story provides a harrowing account of survival. Once an IT graduate, his life took a drastic turn when he was captured by Russian forces and held as a POW in the basement of Marina's home. His journey is one of starvation, injury, and suffering, but also of a miraculous rescue and, ultimately, hope.
