Why watch this film?
A powerful drama with expressionist touches that evokes the deep universal traumas of war. "Butterfly Vision" tells the story of Lilya (Rita Burkovska), a woman who works in the Ukrainian army as an aerial reconnaissance specialist, but is captured and spends months as a hostage in Donbass. Eventually, she is freed and returned to her family, but the psychological - and physical - wounds of her experience manifest as strange and fleeting visions that torment her. Though these images give a dramatic effect to the film, what truly stays in our minds are the consequences on a personal and private level.
