Mountains and Heaven in Between

About This Movie

Mountains and Heaven in Between is that rare documentary that immerses you in a world untouched by the chaos outside. Directed by Dmytro Hreshko, it captures the tranquil yet surreal life in Kolochava during the pandemic. The pacing is languid, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to soak in the sights and sounds of this remote mountain village. You feel the weight of isolation but also the resilience of the villagers, who carry on with their daily routines. The ambulance workers are the quiet heroes here, revealing the unrecognized struggles amidst the calm facade. What stands out is the genuine, unvarnished portrayal of life—there's no gloss, just raw humanity. It’s a slice of life that feels both ordinary and extraordinary.
