In a remote Ukrainian village in 1983, a girl named Oxana Malaya was born into a life far from ordinary.
From the very beginning, her life was marked by tragedy and abandonment.
At just three years old, Oxana's parents - trapped in the grip of alcohol addiction - neglected her, leaving her to survive on her own.
With no one to care for her, the little girl found refuge in the unlikeliest of places: a dog kennel behind her family's home.
