Oleg's Choice

Synopsis: A rare immersion into the private lives and thoughts of Russian combatants who have chosen to fight on the separatists side in Ukraine. Since the summer of 2014, thousands of young Russians poured into the Donbass region. Driven by Russian propaganda, they believed they were fulfilling their patriotic duty. Among the first wave of volunteers were Oleg and Max who begin to fight creeping doubts that they have ended up on the wrong side of the war. The film follows their introspection and shock that they themselves have made mistakes to the frantic rhythm of a war. This is a human story on the borders of good and evil, where men are confronted by their own choices.
