Militantropos

Year
2025
Country
Ukraine, Austria, France
Duration
111’

Militantropos captures the human condition through fractured realities of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The film combines everyday lives transformed by war — those who flee, those who lose everything, and those who stay to resist and fight, — tracing both the instinct to survive and the need for closeness.

Amid devastation and atrocity, the human is absorbed into war — and war, in turn, becomes part of the human.
