documents the struggle for survival of the people in Eastern Ukraine. Since 2014, a war with Russia has been raging. Life here is dominated by the front line, a death zone that extends around 30 kilometers from the trenches into the country's interior. The guns constantly shell along with the deafening explosions of the grenades. Those who could, fled. The elderly and the small local stores, found in every village, were left behind. Many paid for this decision with their lives, like the owner of the small school supply store, whose burnt books now lie in the ruins. Evgeniy, Viktor, and Valentina, barely survived instead. They were at home when the drones and rockets hit their houses, causing severe damage or complete destruction. By some miracle, they all survived, physically unharmed, but evidently deeply traumatized psychologically.Instead of focusing on shocking and violent images, "Life Under Shelling" uses a clear and aesthetic approach to show the terrible effects of war.
