Description
After the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a lot of Russian men and women faced a brutal choice: prison, the army or exile. Margarita, Yuri and their friends, are part of a generation pushed into exile as they refuse to comply with the Russian regime. Caught in the crosscurrents of history, suspended between countries and searching for a place they can call home, with nowhere to return, and nowhere they feel truly welcome.
Director Patric Chiha talks about his documentary film A Russian Winter which premiered at the Berlinale earlier this year and now screening at Festa del Cinema in Rome.
