synopsis

In eastern Ukraine, the film traces several young Ukrainians whose lives have been forever shaped by more than ten years of war and conflict in the Donbas region. Amidst the war a promising boxing talent turns military paramedic, a girl is smuggling goods across the frontline to survive, and as in a Greek tragedy, two brothers now fight on opposite sides of the front line, while their youngest brother lives in safety far from the war with a foster family in the United States. Through letters, video calls and silent meetings, a story unfolds about belonging, national loyalty and the fault lines where political conflicts can trump even the bonds of blood.
In Oost-Oekraïne volgt de film verschillende jongeren wier leven voor altijd is getekend door meer dan tien jaar oorlog en conflict in de Donbas-regio. Temidden van de oorlog wordt een veelbelovend bokstalent militair paramedicus, smokkelt een meisje onverwachte goederen over de frontlinie om te overleven, en zoals in een Griekse tragedie vechten twee broers nu aan weerszijden van de frontlinie terwijl hun jongste broer ver van de oorlog bij een adoptiegezin in de VS woont. Door middel van brieven, videogesprekken en stille ontmoetingen ontvouwt zich een verhaal over verbondenheid, nationale loyaliteit en de breuklijnen waar politieke conflicten zelfs de bloedbanden kunnen overtroeven.
