Currently, an IMDB movie rating is 7.2 out of 10 points.
Also included in the program included a documentary of Ukrainian director Yuri Rechinsky “Dear Beautiful Loved” (Dear Beautify Beloved)which tells how Ukrainians build survival strategies in reality, where a state of emergency has become a new norm.

Currently, an IMDB movie rating is 8.4 out of 10 points.

In the daily struggle for survival with new work, painful rupture, medicine and social label, Pius falls into a reality that seems as uncertain as it itself. Slowly it begins to change – On a monster that threatens the world … Or perhaps the heroine that should save him? Currently, an IMDB movie rating is 7.5 out of 10 points.
