"I do not care if we go down in history as barbarians." These words, spoken in the Council of Ministers of the summer of 1941, started the ethnic cleansing on the Eastern Front. The film attempts to comment on this statement.

VIBE

This film is a stark, intellectual examination of historical atrocities. It feels like a somber, unflinching debate, challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about national identity and moral responsibility. A provocative, steady burn.
