Documentary film by French director Lou Bureau about the war in eastern Ukraine " fest, which takes place in Munich, according to DW.

124 films from 55 countries including Germany, Spain, South Africa, Canada and the USA were presented to the audience at this film festival, which will end on May 15.. The film of the French documentary filmmaker was the best.

The film tells about events that seem further from France than abortions banned in the 60s, but nevertheless, the story told in the film looks relevant at any time in any country.. On the screen - Ukraine. Donbass. Ukrainian volunteers live in the trenches dug by them, from time to time making combat sorties, and in their spare time they tell the camera about their life before the war and about their dreams after.

Most of them are just kids.. They cut into computer games, cackle and dream of a glass of beer in their own garden after the war. For them, war is not a game and not a mother, but simply “it happened”. A middle-aged fat commander - a solid warrior who cannot say half a phrase without a mat - a convinced patriot. He is here - for his homeland, for his land, against foreign aggression. He does not dream of a kindergarten or a wonderful post-war life - he has a family, children and a firm belief that the enemy must be defeated, otherwise the children will not forgive. Soldiers for him are the same children, he yells at them with a mortal obscenity when they neglect security measures.

" The anti-war rhetoric is not declarative here, but it shows through in every frame, in every word of the characters. And in that careful attention with which the camera follows the guys, how it catches their facial expression - often helpless, so childishly surprised.
