HI, IT’S ME by Serhii Morgunov
The idea of the film Hi, it’s me comes from the project Young Europe 2017
DESCRIPTION OF THE FILM:
The film is about war veterans and soldiers. It is based on conversations in which the participants tell their personal stories: why they went to fight, why they became soldiers, what it was like to leave the army and – in some cases – what it was like to rejoin the army. During the conversations, the camera focuses on faces, eyes, words and emotions. The film presents the transition from soldier to veteran. It also shows the original reasons for becoming a soldier and the consequences of this choice. All the on-screen characters merge into one – a war veteran.
