Destruction in the Ukraine war shown through lengthy tableaux. Soldiers' phone calls to families reveal a parallel world.

Ukrainian intelligence services have intercepted thousands of phone calls made by Russian soldiers from the battlefields in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia, painting a stark picture of the cruelty of war. With heightened emotional tension, images of the destruction caused by the invasion are juxtaposed with the daily lives of Ukrainian people who resist and rebuild. The overlaid voices of the Russian soldiers range from delusional heroism to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment, exposing the whole spectrum of the dehumanizing power of war and the imperialist nature of Russia’s aggression.
