When the war in Ukraine breaks out, five women representing various generations and attitudes engage in a desperate fight to save themselves and their loved ones. Thrown together by life, they are protagonists in an uplifting story about life, courage, sacrifice and the power of human spirit.
A film that depicts the young Ukrainian generation scarred by war and political breakthroughs. The film's starting point is the preparation for a play based on the motifs of Shakespeare's Hamlet, which, combined with an intense glimpse into the lives of the characters, creates a powerful portrait of a generation having to confront their war trauma and tackle the painful past, which now after the Russia's invasion of Ukraine becomes their present and future alike.
2014년 우크라이나 동부 돈바스 지역. 군인들의 우발적 ‘실수’로 여객기가 추락하고, 정치적 견해가 상이한 남편과 남동생은 끊임없이 다투고, 한때는 친구였던 이웃 주민들과의 갈등이 증폭되지만, 꿋꿋하게 고향을 지키는 만삭의 임신부 이르카의 배는 점점 불러온다. 연이은 ‘실수’로 폭파되어 무너져버린 거실 벽너머로 보이는 광활한 풍경은 아름답지만 황량하고, 일촉즉발의 상황 속에서 이르카의 두려움과 혼란은 커져간다.
Four short stories are set along the roads of Donbass during the war. There are no safe spaces and no one can make sense of just what is going on. Even as they are trapped in the chaos, some manage to wield authority over others. But in this world, where tomorrow may never come, not everyone is defenseless and miserable. Even the most innocent victims may have their turn at taking charge.
