This is a look at the Ukrainian city which was split when the Russians invaded. While the fil focuses on a number of people in the city it primarily focuses on three brothers, rs one fighting on each side of the war in Ukraine (Mark fighting for Ukraine, Uslan fightiong for Russia). one living with a new family in America (Samuel).
This is a very good, if largely low key look at the war in Ukraine. It's a film that casts different sort of light on the war. The view we get is not simply one one side or the other, but something much more complex. The war clearly has divided families in ways that are unexpected. Additionally there are complications that we haven't seen before such as the brothers on opposing sides still being brothers and conversing.
I like the film a great deal because this isn't a view of the war we've seen before.
And you will forgive me for not going into greater detail but I'm kind of worn out on films about the war in Ukraine. I watch a lot of docs and a great many are on the war. While this is not to sell the war or the film short it's simply to state that I've seen too many films and I'm not certain what else to say beyond this film is quite good and worth a look, especially if you don't want a view of the war you've seen before.
