Klondike

Testimonies: Irka, who is heavily pregnant, lives with her husband Tolik in a village near the Russo-Ukrainian border. Since one of the walls of the living room was destroyed in the war, the barren landscape, which has become a theater of war, is exposed. But Irka does not want to leave her home. The war takes place before her eyes as if on a stage. “This award-winning and Oscar-nominated film provides insight into the lives of a Ukrainian family living on the border of Ukraine and Russia during the onset of the war. Despite its incredible filmmaking, it is important to view this movie for its historical significance, as it sheds light on the roots of the Russian war in Ukraine that began in 2014.
