Description
The Oscar-winning director Mstyslav Chernov, known for 20 Days in Mariupol (2023), shifts his focus from civilians to soldiers in 2000 Meters to Andriivka. The film follows a Ukrainian platoon as they slowly make their way through a mine-strewn, devastated forest to retake an occupied village during the 2023 counteroffensive.

The film shows how soldiers cope with exhaustion, constant danger, and the loss of comrades, revealing the daily reality of a war that seems endless.
