Watched this on iplayer bbc4. Its heartbreaking so have the tissues ready. Filmed in 2014 I believe about children in a shelter in Ukraine being looked after until family reclaim them or they are sent to an orphanage. I found the story of one young boy in there with his younger brother and sister particularly sad and hard to watch especially when their mother did visit and she discovered he had been cutting himself. A huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.
