No Obvious Signs (2018) (Ukrainian: Явних проявів немає) is a Ukrainian documentary by Ukrainian director Alina Gorlova [uk]. It is a Russian-language Ukrainian film produced by Gorlova and Ukrainian producer Mariya Berlinska [uk]. The film follows Ukrainian Army major Oksana Yakubova as she struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The film explores PTSD among female veterans of the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

What is left backstage of the heroic videos of our warriors in Ukraine? What do they have to face, one on one, in peaceful life, and where does the war stop? This is the story of the woman who returns from war. Talking to psychologists, battling her PTSD and panic attacks, she tries hard to get back to normal life. The documentary shows her path from the beginning of her rehabilitation till her going back to work.

100% of funds donated to this event will go to support Ukraine
