“All the children who spent their childhood in war grew up way too fast.”


Witness Mak grow up under a siege that lasts for years. Follow Melisa as she leaves her home behind again and again. Join Anna and Valerie as they desperately try to break free from war’s prison alongside their family. How do these kids cope with the scars the war has left them with? Unravel their interconnected fates and explore how past and present conflicts have shaped these kids’ lives forever.

What does a child hold onto when the world outside is collapsing? In We Grew Up in War, the line between memory and imagination begins to blur — everyday sounds become threats, shadows twist into monsters, and a derelict playground offers fleeting refuge from the shelling outside. Each vignette opens a window into a child’s inner world: surreal, vibrant, and heartbreakingly fragile — filled with worries, but also with the boundless creativity of a mind trying to make sense of the unthinkable.

Trauma doesn’t unfold in a straight line — and neither do these stories. Each child's past is scattered across fragmented memories, tucked into boxes like keepsakes that survived into adulthood. Unpacking them means paying close attention: to the tiniest details, to sounds, colors, gestures — and placing each moment correctly in time. Some memories echo between lives, crossing borders and years. Others draw a line that can never be uncrossed. Together, they reveal not just what happened, but how it felt to grow up in the shadow of war.
