Klondike

The film by Ukrainian director and screenwriter Maryna Er Gorbach has had an extremely successful festival journey. The story takes us to the Ukrainian-Russian border in 2014, when a plane with almost 300 passengers on board was shot down. We follow the dramatic events through the lens of a husband and wife who, in the midst of an armed conflict, try to keep the peace, but most importantly to protect their home and their unborn child. Suggestive and compositionally thoughtful, this drama presents modern film language in the context of wartime events.
