Synopsis: The works of the Ukrainian born artist, Zoya Cherkassky, sell for thousands of dollars, but their bright colors tell a story of immigration, survival, and alienation. We accompany her on an intimate journey from the studio in the immigrant Tel Aviv neighborhood where she has met her Nigerian husband, to her childhood in Kyiv, in search of her lost Ukrainian-Soviet childhood, hoping to find the one place in which she would feel at home.
