Rokas and Inga, a couple of young Lithuanians, volunteer to drive a cargo van of humanitarian aid to Ukraine. When plans change and they find themselves left to their own devices, they cross the vast snowy lands of the Donbass region in search of allies and shelter, drifting into the lives of those affected by the war. They approach the frontline in spite of the danger, all the while growing closer to each other as they begin to understand life during wartime. (Cannes Film Festival)

The film focuses on the central couple, who at the same time work as a sort of romantic center-point and who are trying to have their relationship / non-relationship somewhere in the Ukrainian Donbas region. What’s definitely worth noting is the setting in which the movie takes place. It’s also no less interesting to watch the characters in the film. I believe that they will likely be based on some real models. But the lives of the people suffering in the frozen setting of a war are as cold as the countryside itself. For the entire almost two hours, I felt as cold as a witch’s teat. The only moment that broke me was the ending. It proved that it was worth the two-hour wait.
