Synopsis: “In Her Car” is set against the backdrop of war-torn Ukraine and revolves around Lydia, a psychotherapist juggling the demands of her personal and professional lives. As the show progresses, Lydia’s car transforms into a metaphorical sanctuary as she drives across the whole of Ukraine, picking up a wide range of individuals. Each passenger brings with them a unique story, reflecting the diverse tapestry of human experiences and struggles during war times. Their tales range from heart-wrenching losses to moments of unexpected joy, painting a vivid picture of life in a conflict zone.

With each new passenger, the show delves into a myriad of personal tales: from heartwarming reunion of two sisters to a lady reconciling with her grandson, who is heading to the army… These stories, rich in their diversity, showcase the unyielding spirit of humanity and the complex layers of emotions experienced during wartime. Lydia’s interactions with these varied souls not only highlight her empathy but also reflect the multifaceted nature of human resilience and vulnerability in the face of adversity.
