Udgivelsesdato: Mar 25, 2024

A single Ukrainian infantry company find themselves in a life or death battle to defend the eastern front against intense Russian attacks. This is an extraordinary portrait of lives compromised by the turmoil of Europe’s bloodiest war in living memory, filmed by Ukrainian soldiers. With exclusive access to a tightly controlled frontline, the film follows the mission of a special battalion as they undertake a single deployment on one of Ukraine’s most violent battlefronts, a snow-covered forest near Kupyansk. Their mission is to defend a railway line, a key strategic asset that, if captured, will enable Russia to mount a direct attack on Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv.
