Lost Stars of the Horoscope

Katrina's debut feature documentary, Lost Stars of the Horoscope, had its world premiere at the FIAPF-accredited Black Nights Film Festival in Tallinn in November 2025. This was followed by an international premiere at the 66th Zlín Film Festival and selection for the Visions du Réel Film Market 2026.

Synopsis 

In Estonia, three Ukrainian girls fight a war that didn’t end at the border. For 11-year-old Masha, the war is a living ghost; she is a prisoner of a disappearing past, caught between a lost home and a terrifying future. For 13-year-old Sasha, Estonia is a clean slate where she attempts the impossible: moving on without betraying those left behind. Meanwhile, 14-year-old Iryna finds herself trapped by a rigid system, forced into a Russian-speaking school while facing high-stakes Estonian exams. Their stories reveal a devastating reality: starting a life in a new country doesn’t always mean it has a place for you.
