Synopsis

Uspenska Street in Odesa features a residential building where Kira Muratova, a renowned Ukrainian film director, once lived. The entrance is now decorated with vibrant wall paintings of cats, dogs, and whimsical plants. These artworks were created by Yevhen Holubenko, Muratova's husband and a notable screenwriter and production designer. While Holubenko is recognized in the art community, he typically does not paint in apartment building entrances. The documentary runs for 48 minutes and is directed by Serhii Rakhmanin.
