VESNA by Rostislav Kirpičenko is part of the Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival and will premiere next Monday!
Synopsis: In occupied Ukraine, Russian forces forbid the burial of executed Ukrainian civilians.
Andryï, a 35-year-old priest, sees his church turned into a morgue. Forced to store the bodies of executed civilians before they are taken to mass graves, he resists in secret: he identifies the dead, returns them to their families, and offers them a dignified burial. But winter freezes the ground and the threat grows. How will he continue to resist?
We are incredibly proud and excited to see the film reach this milestone, and look forward to its reception on the Croisette ⭐️

‘What ultimately comes across to all generations is how sincere the film feels at its core. Long after the plot resolves, the film’s spirit continues to resonate, offering a rare blend of optimism and artistry that feels both refreshing and necessary. It can spark conversations between younger and older viewers that wouldn’t happen in a less thoughtful movie.’ - Victoria Luxford, @collider
