Andrii, 17, is a student who was orphaned in the aftermath of the war. They cross paths when Nina witnesses Andrii being arrested by the police after hanging the Ukrainian flag from the roof of his school.

Beautiful, moving film.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
