When Russia invaded in 1939, my family evacuated from Viburg in Finland to its western region. As a child I listened to their stories of their lost homeland. They never went back, the grief remained too raw. This work is my imagination of my mother and my grandmother. They, evacuated twice, the truce broken by Russia. Now Viburg is in Russia, no longer the vibrant cultural city it once was.
