Eastern Front
Yevhen is a member of the volunteer medical battalion „The Hospitallers”. The battalion’s mission is to provide first aid on the front line and to evacuate the wounded to frontline hospitals. He captures an insider’s images which reveal precisely what (this) war means. The shift from scenes on the frontline in the east to home leave with the family in the west, make the scenes on duty seem almost like memories. At times disturbingly raw and direct, yet always enlightening, this film shows in close-up how a nation is fighting for its survival.
