大象传媒 Eye's "Number 17: My House of Horrors" follows the remarkable story of one family's home at the centre of Ukraine's war. In the strategically important city of Vuhledar, the story of this one home reflects Ukraine's brutal war for survival. Originally built as the dream home of Marina, her husband and their two children. It was filled with symbols of love, family, and stability - the centre of the young family's daily life. When Russia attacked in February 2022, their home, their lives, and their world were brutally overturned.

A year later, Olexii was fighting for survival in the house's basement. Once an IT graduate, his life took a drastic turn when he was captured by Russian forces, who later they held him as a POW in Marina's home. Wounded, and staving off starvation, he prayed for the impossible.
Meanwhile, Olexii's father, Oleksandr, a former prominent music producer who had worked with famous Russian bands, spent weeks desperately searching for his son. He scoured every new POW video released online, hoping to find a trace of Olexii, but none ever appeared. Still, Oleksandr held onto hope.
Upstairs, Fima, a Russian naval infantry soldier, was using Marina's home as a base... A former diving enthusiast from Vladivostok, he was soon to become a pinup for Russia's propaganda war. He filmed himself, under fire, searching through Marina's house, and even browsing her family photo albums in the rubble...
