LEGO, Stus, and nocturnal inspiration: how 14-year-old Oles "revived" a film that made foreigners Google the poet

Remember yourself at 14. Some spent hours playing FIFA or Need for Speed, some drew in Paint or shot their first videos on a button phone – the same one that barely focused and recorded 15 seconds without sound. We dreamed of a new game disc or a computer with decent internet. Definitely not about movies, creativity, or artificial intelligence.

And today 14-year-old Oleh Vorona from Lviv takes the same children's building blocks LEGO and converts them into movie - a five-minute animation about Vasyl Stus, a person whom the Soviet regime could not break.

Over four thousand shots, four months of filming, no studio – just a lamp, a camera, and an ordinary room, under the bed of which are boxes with sorted figurines.

In a conversation with LIGA.net Oles' told how the film was born from a night of inspiration. Human. Stus, how much it cost, and what foreigners wrote to him after the premiere.
