A compendium of short films, Overcoming the Darkness, highlights the full tragedy that followed the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It charts the course of the Russian progression across the country through the lives and communities of those affected by the wide-scale aggression, alongside those fighting for their land.

The film details the force of the assault, but its primary focus lies with the strength of the communities that have had to endure unimaginable hardships but who remain resilient in the face of such oppression. It joins an increasing number of ground-level films documenting the reality of this modern tragedy.

A young woman was tragically killed by her husband. From the possible types of burial she chooses cremation. The woman is late for the funeral ceremony ...

Screening of the story of the same name by Tatiana Malyarchuk.

The heroine of the film Zhanka with the help of God becomes an almost perfect person. And so God frees her from a difficult life, turning her into a butterfly. An easy carefree life awaits her. But was that what she wanted? And did she really deserve it?

Where geography and common sense end, there is a place for it. This is a story about a man who has everything. This is not at all what the products of the modern value system are used to. Existing on the verge of alcoholism and enlightenment, Phoenix still found his niche. The only thing that worries me is that the scrap metal will end soon.

The films are included in the almanac of documentaries "Out of the Euro".
