Summertime in Ukraine
Watch TrailerMaksym, a film student, is shooting his graduation project about peaceful life in his home village. His camera captures the details: a grandmother baking pies, children playing football on a dusty street, a neighbor fixing a fence. Everything changes on February 24. Now his lens records not weddings and holidays, but evacuation, destroyed houses, the faces of people who have lost everything. The film becomes a chronicle of one summer, where Maksym's personal archives intertwine with footage shot by his friends on the front lines. This is not a frontline report, but a collective diary of a generation whose youth was stolen by war. A story about how art becomes a weapon of memory, and ordinary people become the heroes of their own tragedy.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The directorial choice is a refusal of voiceover and intrusive music. Instead, raw editing from phone videos, amateur footage, and professional shots creates the effect of direct testimony.
Those who tire of polished narratives will find a stark, essential confrontation with reality stripped of Hollywood gloss. What lingers after is the understanding of documentary cinema's primary duty: to be an archive of pain and hope. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Volodymyr Tykhyy
