60 Years since the Korean War-All about the Wars

Synopsis

The film starts with the journeys of the two director/protagonists, Olga and Andrei, one on either side of the frontline during the Russian-Georgian war. A non-conventional and deeply personal feature documentary, firmly establishes emotional contact with the audiences by depicting human drama before presenting political conclusions. These emerge naturally and forcefully as the intercut double journey progresses.
