Description
As Russia launches its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, primary schools are transformed into army recruitment grounds. A courageous teacher faces an ethical dilemma: should he cooperate with a system marked by propaganda and violence? He decides to go undercover and film what is really happening at his school.
To cope with his guilt and sense of powerlessness, Pasha records hundreds of hours of footage in classrooms and on school grounds. What emerges is the story of an institution abruptly transformed: propaganda, repressive new laws, militarized youth organizations, and ultimately the recruitment of graduating students to fight in Ukraine. When Pasha realizes that his own life is in danger, he is forced to plan a daring escape from Russia.
