Katya is a young woman who works as a welder. Abandoned as a little girl, she embarks on a personal journey to reunite with her lost family – to weld it back together, just like she welds metal at work. Despite the pain and disappointment she experiences along the way, Katya’s love for her little half-sister drives her to protect the child’s fragile world from a harsh reality. With its evocative visuals and intimate storytelling, the film sheds light on the invisible drama that many children growing up in dysfunctional families get caught up in. Welded Together is a powerful and socially significant documentary about a difficult choice with no right answer, depicting love that is willing to make sacrifices for those we hold most dear.
