Broken Windows

About This Movie

So, Broken Windows is this intense documentary that peels back the layers of life in a war-torn residential area. It’s shot from the cramped perspectives of apartments in Mykolaiv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv, and you really feel that claustrophobic atmosphere. The pacing is slow but purposeful, allowing you to absorb the devastating aftermath of the bombings. Residents, captured in their small spaces, struggle to pick up the pieces—literally and metaphorically. It’s raw, the practical effects of the destruction are haunting, and the performances feel so genuine. There’s a palpable sense of resilience and loss, making it a striking piece that captures the mundane amidst the chaos. You get this grounded perspective that’s hard to shake off.
