Famous Ukrainian actor Oleksandr Pecherytsia, who was supposed to go on tour to Lviv on February 24 with the play “Stolen Happiness”, instead took up arms and went to defend Ukraine in the Kharkiv region. During his rotations and vacations, Oleksandr played in the theater, gave concerts, studied to become a military psychologist, and tried to communicate with his young son as often as possible. Over time, he began to feel a certain duality in his life: the world of war and the world of art, to which he equally belonged, could not coexist in one person; an empty house and short moments with his son only reminded him of the happy times when his family was close; uncertainty about the future of his career, family, country and the inability to influence anything made Oleksandr think about the question “what is the purpose of life for me now?”
