Ghosts of Ukraine

The missing soldiers and civilians abducted or lost in the fighting, represent the blind spot of the war in Ukraine. Anne Poiret's documentary follows three women searching for their husbands, oscillating between hope and an impossible grief. Like tens of thousands of others, they relentlessly investigate, scouring government offices and social media, and awaiting every prisoner exchange. The film adopts a female perspective on the war, focusing not on the offensives but on the traces left by this haunting absence.
