The conversation in Warsaw's Kinoteka will be moderated by Zhenia Klimakin, journalist and editor-in-chief of the Nova Polshcha portal, and in Gdansk and Wroclaw, Zoriana Varenia, journalist of the Nova Polshcha portal.

About the film:

The year’s most acclaimed Ukrainian documentary. A film about the war in Ukraine like no other. Without showing a single shot fired—no wounds, tanks, or explosions—the filmmakers capture the heart of the conflict. Long, perfectly framed shots reveal lunar landscapes and the wrecked interiors of apartments claimed by the "Russian World" in 2022. The absurdity and brutality of war are laid bare by the occupiers themselves: the audio consists solely of intercepted conversations between Russian soldiers and their families, recorded by Ukrainian intelligence, in which they recount their wartime experiences. This bold cinematic experiment, where sound and image amplify one another, mercilessly exposes the state of Russian society, consumed by toxic propaganda. A must-see in theaters.
