Filmed in a setting created by Russian bombs: The new series “In Her Car” tells of the new everyday life in Ukraine, where the war is omnipresent but also fades into the background.
Lydia’s sad eyes in the rearview mirror of her car, the madness on the road in front of her, the distress in the passenger seat. The television series “In Her Car” doesn’t need much more to show the war in Ukraine in a completely different way than the news on the radio. The psychologist Lydia, played by the wonderful Anastasia Karpenko, stays in the country after the Russian army attacked Ukraine and helps harassed people escape. In each episode of the European co-production she has different co-drivers. She is always accompanied by a deep sadness and loss. And there is always talk about Ukraine, its society, its conflicts. About how war changes people.
