UKRAINE. Petrokhiv. Ternopil. 2014. Alina, 21, a resident at the Internat Children's Home, a Soviet-era institute wedged between the forest and the new suburb of Petrykiv. When she was born her mother was told she would never be able to walk so her parents left her at the home and later got divorced and moved to far off Kyiv. There is a bone missing in her legs, but she learned to walk with the help of the people at the home when she was at seven. She had a dream of meeting her mother one day but that dream was shattered when her mother refused to see her. She then stopped hoping for anything. Her mother is a psychologist and her father is a journalist. Her father, who she visited this year, wanted her to go to university but her medical report says she's mentally disabled so she can't go. To get out of the home, she would have to prove she's mentally normal, a process that takes five years.
