School # 3

Documentary film that is about 13 pupils of school №3 town Mykolaivka Donetsk region. Mykolaivka suffered from war in summer 2014. Few whiz bangs targeted a school №3 and turned it into one of the town ruins. The story is about life, thoughts and doubts of 13 teenagers. The film structure is build of 13 totally opened and honest monologues in parallel with real life that shouted without camera distance. The climate of teen years feels very sharp, bright and deep because of fact that these children went throw war. The period of main heroes’ life that captured in film is kind of border between war and peace, childhood and adulthood, love and hate.
These children want to be heard and they have what to say.
