Wings
Drama
Former fighter pilot turned provincial schoolmistress Nadezhda Petrovna struggles to adapt to peacetime, having internalised military ideals of service and obedience.
VIBE
A poignant, melancholic look at a former pilot struggling to find meaning after war. It's a wistful, introspective drama about lost purpose and the ache of nostalgia, feeling like a faded photograph brought to life.
