SHREDS
2015, Ukraine. Two brothers from the Donbas - the younger Kolya and the older Kostya flee the war to the capital and settle in Irpin near Kyiv. They have different views on what is happening and what to do next. Kolya, despite the punishments and risks, regularly goes to square to get the attention of the goverment. Kostya is a practical thinker - he wants him and his brother to leave the country, find a job and get a chance for a better future. The tension between Kolya and Kostya is growing, especially since the argument about the war is not the only thing that separates the brothers. "Shreds" was shot three days before the start of a full-scale invasion.
