Director: Valery Timoshenko
The film is showing us Lugansk’s volunteer soldiers, we see their life in the most critical period of the war ravaging Donbass for 4 years already. This is also about the tragic attempts of informal leaders of both sides of the Ukrainian conflict to reach reconciliation. And about the necessity of stopping this war at all costs. But even among these bright characters, Alexei Mozgovoy, commander of the “Prizrak” (“Ghost”) brigade, is an outstanding personality… The filmmakers gave cameras to the volunteers and taught them to film.
