A Tower Being Built is a story of finding home amidst the war. The film mixes the elements recorded in different physical locations, intertwined to represent the fluidity of understanding the idea of home.
By breaking up the shots of New York and Dnipro with excerpts from childhood and relating the footage to the ongoing war, the assembling of the tower becomes symbolic of the Ukrainian struggle for independence and self-identification, representative of the author’s struggle to construct a sense of national identity, and a metaphor for the country’s commitment to reconstruct despite adversities.
