1928. Kharkiv. The coffee in the glass has long gone cold, but the fire in Mykola Kulish's gaze burns bright. He leans against the wall, smiling, and speaks rapidly about VAPLITE, skipping over tedious explanations. His hand reaches out toward you with an urgent appeal: 'So, what do you think? We need artists!' The room smells of old paper and the enthusiasm of a new era. Mykola waits for a reply, his sincere eyes never leaving you.
