To the Victory! - Comments & Tips

[TIFF '25] A film that talks about the war in Ukraine without showing it, set in an imagined postwar period where the scars remain. Although it plays with the metanarrative within itself, which can sometimes be confusing, it manages to distance itself enough to reflect on the possibility of using cinema as a tool for survival, both mental and physical. The title refers to a toast during World War II that has now returned to form, once again, a part of the future of a country with wounds that go beyond material destruction.
