Every night nameless bodies land in Dr. Cristina Cattaneo’s autopsy room. She calls them the Pure Unknown. These Pure Unknown often belong to the fringes of society. They are homeless, sex workers, runaway teenagers. Lately, they have mostly been migrants, rejected by the Mediterranean Sea onto the shores of Italy. If all rights belong to the living, nothing is left to the dead. So what happens when the dead have lost their identity? In the face of this growing multitude, no one seems concerned about their right to dignity. No one but Cristina. &nbsp;&nbsp;

In a small village in Galicia in northern Spain, Pablo’s family lives attached to their ancient traditions and beliefs. Feeling that he did not fit into their world, Pablo left 20 years ago to become a filmmaker. But, as both he and his family are growing older, a restless feeling in him starts to get stronger, urging him to go back home to confront the ghosts of the past and find answers, in the limited time they still have together. As every autumn, his grandmother Alicia opens the doors of her house to continue the ancestral tradition of making “augardente”, a homemade-liquor. The house is prepared, the „augardenteiros“ arrive and the neighbors come join in ritual and celebration. Nothing seems to have changed, but everything is different. Alicia no longer has the same energy and enthusiasm. Santi, the augardenteiro who has been there for many years, seems to have lost the joy in life after many years of hard work. And the habit of Pablo’s parents to not talk about emotions makes it difficult for him to connect and fully grasp what is going on. Little by little the process of making the liquor, the vapors, the mists, the cold and the rain submerge Pablo into a journey that brings him back to his childhood, his old fears and all that haunts him. Alicia knows her grandson well, and although they seem to live in opposite worlds, she creates a new bond between them through her rites and beliefs. A connection that sets them both on their own journey.

In Galicia, Pablo's family lives attached to their ancient traditions. He left years ago to become a filmmaker. Now a restless feeling is urging him to go back home to confront the ghosts of the past. 

Pablo Lago Dantas is an experienced director of photography, a CamerImage best cinematography nominee whose films have made it to more than 100 official sections in prestigious international film festivals.

An encounter with his place of origin and family, it is a journey through memory, tradition, the deconstruction of home, death and the passage of time.&nbsp; &nbsp;

On 24 February 2022, Yevhen didn’t have to puzzle over what he should do. He went to the front. And from the first minute of Russia’s large-scale aggression against Ukraine, he began to record everything that surrounded him: his own feelings when the first rockets began to bomb his city; tens of thousands of refugees in a hurry to leave their homes, creating endless traffic jams at city exits; and the friends with whom he went to war – a war which had progressed to the threshold of his own house in Kyiv. Yevhen is a member of the volunteer medical battalion ‘The Hospitallers’; created in 2014, it now has more than 1,000 people. The battalion’s mission is to provide first aid on the front line and to evacuate the wounded to headquarters or frontline hospitals. Each mobile brigade includes an armed driver, an armed guard, and two paramedics. Brigades usually work in pairs of two medical vehicles, thus creating a mobile unit. These people are the main characters of the film. From the first hours of the war, we get as close as possible and spend the first half of the year there, until 24 August 2022. These six months are full of drama, despair, fear, hatred, bitterness, love, and, most importantly, faith in victory. When they went to war, our protagonists sent their families to the rear in the west of Ukraine – to a village where the parents of Soupchik live. At one point, 25 refugees were living in their homes. It was in this village that all the young men gathered to meet their relatives before the Ukrainian army’s large-scale southward counterattack. Not everyone is destined to return alive and in good health.At the end of August, they came to the rear not only to say goodbye to their loved ones but also to baptise the nine-month-old son of Subbota in the village church. As soon as they rose from the celebratory feast, they had to go back to the war…

Defending their homeland from Russian aggression, the protagonists went to the Eastern Front. In 2022 all of Ukraine, from the Donbas to the Carpathians, became the Eastern Front for Europe.
