The War Beyond the Frontline

Film Details

A personal documentary, composed of a series of video recordings, in which Alisa Kovalenko records her feelings and experiences on the front lines in the form of a journal dedicated to her five-year-old son, Theo. Against the backdrop of the chaos and routine of war, the film gives us direct access to the author’s thoughts and struggles, helping us understand the main reason she volunteered: so that, later, her son would not have to go to war.
