It’s 1974 in the Philippines, and a Japanese lieutenant lives his life as though World War II is still raging.
A strong character study of a 13-year-old Polish Jew who disguised herself for two years during World War II. Based on a true story.
This fierce drama follows in the footsteps of other recent Ukrainian films examining the effect of war in the Donbass region.
A deadpan depiction of a fallen society, in which the seismic effects of war for years have yielded lawlessness and chaos.

A war film set in Latvia that aims for nothing if not an epic sweep.
