At the start of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian army secretly recorded and publicised telephone conversations between Russians fighting on the frontline and their families back home. Soldiers' confessions of brutal war crimes are juxtaposed with images of Ukraine's devastated landscape - bombed-out cities back in Ukrainian hands, flowers blooming amid the rubble. At the other end of the line, there are pleas to return home, or support for the violence caused by a distorted perception of geopolitical reality. A shocking documentary about Russia's murderous imperial project and its efficient propaganda apparatus, which has reached audiences in many festivals around the world.
