THE BLESSED ONES

A documentary film by Andrii Lysetskyi

Suddenly thrown into a brutal war, a group of Ukrainian artists must face a once unimaginable question: What can artists do when the world is burning? The camera observes them dealing with their own transformation and the changed sensibilities of people around them. News media fail to portray all the shades of wartime experience and all the mutations humans undergo, so it is up to them, the artists, to create a nuanced picture of this catastrophe for the benefit of current and future generations.
