TO THE VICTORY! Ukraine-Lithuania, 2025, 105 min, color

In Ukraine’s post-war future, Roman, a struggling film director, dreams of making movies once again. He is residing in Kyiv with his 18-year-old son​, while his beloved wife and young daughter remain in Vienna, the city they fled to at the beginning of Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion. Much to Roman’s mounting chagrin and despite a newly elected populist government — and the fact that he’s unwilling to leave the country​ he fought for — his family doesn’t plan on returning to their homeland due to the poor economic and political landscapes. These, regardless of liberation and ongoing pushes from citizens, are slow to reform. As he prepares a new film with his trusted producer Volodymyr Yatsenko (the real film’s producer), his close friend Vlad  may be a melancholy mirror into his own future: he has already lost his family to the allure of the West. Meanwhile, his ailing father, possessing a demeanour sourced from all that he has survived, provides a different outlook on life.
