Донбас

Донбас

Donbas, Eastern Ukraine. The whole world learned about this region in 2014, and is still hearing about it. There are always open armed conflicts and separatist sabotage against peaceful citizens. In Donbas, there is such a fine line between war and peace, between truth and propaganda, between hatred and love. Every viewer will be able to immerse himself in this scary atmosphere, where life and death walk so close together, where comedy and drama are one step away. And this story is not only about one region or one country - it is a story about the whole world, which is bogged down in lies. It's about each of us. Read more The film is based on real stories.
