Vital Signs

Vital Signs offers a raw glimpse into the lives of ordinary Russians amidst Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Through everyday scenes, we witness the quiet desperation of individuals grappling with the war's impact on their lives and futures. Contrary to prevailing narratives of widespread support for the war, our film unveils the reality of a growing urge to escape Russia. Against a backdrop of escalating war propaganda, Moscow transforms from a home into an ominous presence, overshadowing intimate conversations and personal struggles. As nationalism rises, we silently observe the unraveling of relationships and the profound changes shaping Russian society as we speak.
