A LETTER TO UKRAINE
2023 | 98 min. | Documentary | Lithuania |
Created by
Lithuanian Film Community
Synopsis
Russian military invasion in February 2022 irreversibly changed lives of all Ukrainians and interrupted peace in Europe. Those who directly experience the war have a clear choice: to fight or to escape. The further from the front lines, the more questions emerge: to keep interest or to ignore, to welcome or to turn away, to donate or to go fight? Lithuanian film community got together for a voluntary project with the aim to document what was happening during this complicated time in their country.
The main protagonist of this observational documentary is a person next to the war: a passerby, a protester, a volunteer, a medic. This film is a unique document of the period and unprecedented unity experienced during it. Have we done enough? Might our efforts become a myth and instruction for the future generations? Could we influence the outcome of the war? Or maybe we got tired and gave up too soon? People trying to answer these and other questions bring us closer to our own nature, which, sadly, is revealed best in moments of conflict.
