Love+War

Anna and Mark meet in Kyiv in February 2022. Their first kiss is drowned out by the wail of an air raid siren. Instead of dates, there's volunteer work distributing aid; instead of romantic dinners, a basement shelter. Documentarian Lisa Ivanova doesn't capture a war story, but a love story born within it. The camera follows the couple for two years, from the first days of the invasion to their decision to marry in a half-destroyed city. This 2025 documentary reveals how emotions not only survive but flourish against the backdrop of chaos, becoming a quiet form of resistance. Anna and Mark's chronicle is one of everyday heroism, where caring for another becomes the central plot.
