Company of Steel (Залізна сотня), dir. Yuliia Hontaruk, 110', Ukraine/Slovakia/Latvia, 2025
In 2014, three young Ukrainian men with no military experience set out to serve their country in the Russo-Ukrainian War. After two years on the frontline, they slowly try to adapt to civilian life. But when Russia invades Ukraine in February 2022, they are forced back to the frontline. Confronted again with the trauma they have been trying so hard to overcome, they not only face the challenge of securing their homeland but also of safely returning to lives they worked so hard to build.
