Заповіт (Testament) | Feature Documentary | 2024 | Festivals Pending

As Ukrainians settle into the rhythm of war, those who are under everyday threat find ways to rebuild the world around them. A soldier returns home for ten days, a chaplain grapples with the weight of responsibility, and a mother grieves the loss of her family while reconstructing her destroyed home. These stories, amidst others, are a testament of Ukraine’s history, perseverance, and plea to be remembered.
