Mariupol. A Hundred Nights

About This Movie

Mariupol. A Hundred Nights is a haunting blend of animation and documentary that captures the harrowing experience of a child amidst chaos. The narrative follows a little girl waking to the terrifying reality of air alerts in her besieged city. The story, drawn from Alisa's true experiences, gives a visceral sense of urgency and despair. The animation style feels raw, reflecting the emotional weight of the situation—it's not polished but it works. The pacing is intentionally disjointed, mirroring the confusion and fear of those nights. Themes of survival and innocence play heavily, and the film’s ability to convey emotional depth through a child’s perspective is what truly sets it apart. It’s a poignant reminder of resilience in the face of devastation.
