description About

A town of 40 000 inhabitants in south-eastern Ukraine is occupied by Russia. Andriy, a 35-year-old Ukrainian priest, sees his church turned into a morgue. He is forced to guard the bodies of Ukrainian civilians who have been shot until the Russians come to collect them. Every three weeks, the Russians collect the bodies and bury them in mass graves to cover up their crimes. For several months, the priest resists, secretly returning the bodies to their families. But winter is approaching and the ground is too frozen to bury the dead. How will he continue to resist as conditions deteriorate even further?
