VIKTOR
Viktor, a young deaf man in Kharkiv, watches warily during the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A fan of samurai films and raised on stories of war, he dreams of becoming a warrior but is repeatedly denied when he tries to enlist. Eager to find purpose, Viktor embarks on a quest to find his place in the midst of a war he cannot hear. The film premiered at the 49th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and was featured in the prestigious Platform Prize programme.
