Ukrainian mother plays with her daughter like in a movie so she doesn't find out about the war
The movie 'Life is Beautiful' helped mother to keep her little girl distracted.
A week after the Russian military invasion of Ukraine began, certain experiences in the lives of Ukrainians these days have been shared through social networks.
Although Ukraine is experiencing a difficult time, the stories they share online show that they still have hope.
The case of Ksenia Lunova, 35 years old, has attracted a lot of attention, since she said that together with her four-year-old daughter, she simulates a game so that she stays away from the situation they are currently experiencing.
For that, it is based on one of the most iconic movies in history, called ' Life is beautiful '. This film shows the story of a Jew who is trapped with his daughter by Nazi forces and later transferred to the concentration camp, in the middle of World War II.
In the movie story, the father never tells his young son what is happening. In order not to tell her the truth, he makes her believe that they are participating in a game in which they must earn a certain number of points to see their mother and escape from the place.
No one imagined that years later, the plot of the film directed by the Italian filmmaker Roberto Beningni and winner of an Oscar in 1999, would become an example to follow at this time.
Among the decisions made by this mother of a family, is the complete imitation of the movie game, and created a protection plan through recreational games so that the little girl does not know anything about the war between Ukraine and Russia.
The lady and her daughter are at their house, located in Obukhov, a town 30 kilometers from Kiev.
