Documentary about specific phases of the battle for the Donetsk airport and about the hero-fighters of the Ukrainian Volunteer corps in Pisky. The film presents the war in extreme focus – adrenaline, humor, pain, anguish, and courage are tightly packed into 82 minutes of screen time. It shows scenes of the battle, evacuation of the wounded, the capture of the new airport terminal, and civilians, who live near the fighting’s epicenter. It features death and frontline humor, and a bit of philosophical discussions as well.
Twisting what seems to be obvious setups and frameworks is what sets the story structure of Squid Game apart.

That gut-wrenching feeling you have while watching it is okay but needed, and you, the viewer, will be okay.
