His story'Butterfly Vision' takes a neutral position to portray the Ukranian conflict. Showing the hateful acts committed in the name of the homeland, Maksym Nakonechnyi points out the deep social cracks that have arisen from extremism. His story gains strength with Rita Burkovska's withdrawn but effective performance as Lilia, a drone operator captured by separatists; her gestures and few phrases allow us to feel the wounds of war. Her predicament is further complicated by another terrible consequence of armed conflicts when women are involved, propelling the plot toward a bleak ending. The film uses various visual devices to provide context; YouTube videos or videos recorded with phones allow us to take a first-person point of view, alluding to how wars are lived today. While the plot feels sparse at times, 'Butterfly Vision' presents a broader picture of what's happening in Ukraine through a story steeped in trauma and disappointment. Expand
