The team had wrapped filming Luckich's second feature, Luxembourg, Luxembourg, and the content was scattered on hard drives in different locations across the capital of Ukraine. Film 'literally gave us hope'"It is amazing miracle for us that we finished the film and now have opportunity to show it to an international audience," said Lukich.

Now that the world has seen his film, Lukich hopes to eventually bring Luxembourg, Luxembourg to audiences back home.
