Volcano

Decentering/City: a tragicomedy: Lukas works as an interpreter for an OSCE mission. One day, he ends up stranded in the southern Ukrainian steppe, where anarchy and the right of the strong rule. He eventually finds refuge with Vova and his family. Here an surreal seeming world opens up before him, between real-life insanity and fantastical dream. “This is a unique movie that showcases the life on the home turf of Roman Bondarchuk, a filmmaker who gained recognition for his previous works such as Euromaidan (2014), Ukrainian Sheriffs (2015), and his debut feature VOLCANO. Most of his films focus on Kherson and its people.“ (Victoria Leshchenko)
