Film description
2025, Ukraine, in the aftermath of a devastating war. The area is deemed unsuitable for habitation, the environment is irreversibly ravaged, people are drifting like spooks, struggling to eke out a rudimentary sense of living. Sergiy, a former soldier tortured by PTSD, joins a voluntary team that digs up soldiers’ corpses from unmarked graves. The emotionless identification of the decomposed cadavers is intertwined with the brutality of the dystopian landscape of mud, metal and spouting smoke. A post-apocalyptic tale that seeks hope in the hopeless and squeezes out a drop of affection in the midst of a desert-like human wasteland.
