DokfestGeneration / junges dokfest 3: My ne zgasnemo / Ми не згаснемо (We Will Not Fade Away)
Recommended from 14 years old
Bombings and gunfire have been as commonplace for the five Ukrainian youths who grew up in the Donbas since 2014 as the desire for a future and a carefree life they are trying to wrest from the state of war. With an expedition to the Himalayas, their dream is fulfilled for a short time – until the Russian invasion of the rest of Ukraine shatters their hopes in February 2022. The film sensitively paints a portrait of a generation that is able to recognise and celebrate the fragile beauty of life despite, or perhaps because of, the darkness that surrounds them.
