In this extraordinary film, Oksana Karpovych juxtaposes extracts from thousands of intercepted phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia with calm images of the destruction caused by the invasion and the day-to-day life of the Ukrainian people who resist and rebuild. The voices of the Russian soldiers—ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment—expose the whole scope of the dehumanising power of war and imperialist nature of the Russian aggression.
