About This Movie

So, 'Lost Stars of the Horoscope' dives into the heart of a crisis—Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the resulting refugee situation. It's a documentary that feels intimate, almost like you're peering through the lens of a family photo album. The film follows three Ukrainian girls—Iryna, Sasha, and Masha—navigating this upheaval alongside their families. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to really soak up the emotional weight of their stories. You get a sense of resilience and hope amidst chaos, which is pretty striking. The atmosphere is heavy but also tinged with moments of warmth and camaraderie, which is a testament to the performances. It’s not just about the war; it’s about the human experience within it. Definitely a unique lens on a current event.
