The Russian-Ukrainian war became one of the biggest upheavals for Maciej Kuzminski, a Polish choreographer, and he decided to develop a dance performance "Every Minute Motherland" to influence the perception of his audience. Maciej invites Ukrainian dancers to participate in their refugee experiences. The interaction between him and a Polish-Ukrainian crew leads to new thoughts, and feelings, which this work should be, and shows a viewer a path that they are going through together.
