LOGLINE

The parallel trajectories of three Ukrainian lives in the face of war echo each other: Vitaly, 19, grows up between his life as an IT student in Kyiv and the fighting in the East as part of a volunteer unit where he has enlisted as a drone pilot. Fyodor, 26, goes into illegal exile in the West in the hope of finding a new future there, free from the conflicts of allegiance and identity that are paralyzing him. As for Anya, she strives to cultivate a stable daily life to raise her 7-year-old son after the execution of her husband and remains where life must go on, on the edge of the dense and wild forest, where nothing is unambiguous.
