Varenyky (2026)
At a flour-dusted kitchen table in Norrtälje, a couple of women fold dough parcels for the Ukrainian national dish Varenyky and share memories of the war that brought them there. In the kitchen’s familiar rituals, grief and longing sit side by side with pride and a sense of community.
