CLOUDS MOVE WITH GREAT SPEED

SYNOPSIS

The war taught us to be strong, resilient, to fight and, sadly to admit, to live every day like the last one. And also, to lose. Even though it might seem that it is impossible to get used to it. There are three stories in the film. They are united by one theme – LOSS.

The war took Vadym’s entire family, Tetyana Vasylivna’s home, and the junior sergeant with the call sign ‘Buryj’’s (‘Brown’) most precious thing… life.
This movie is a story about the most disgusting side of war and the brightest side of people. Filmed and narrated by a volunteer who reaches the dangerous frontline areas of Russia’s shameful war with Ukraine.
