Vesna

In a city in southeastern Ukraine occupied by Russia, the church of 35-year-old priest Andriy has been turned into a morgue for murdered Ukrainian civilians. The priest is beginning to resist the occupation by returning the bodies of fallen citizens to their families. But winter is coming, and the ground is frozen. In an increasingly threatening environment, how will he continue to resist?
