More Details

Summary:

A few months prior to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, five young women and men participate in a unique stage production that attempts to relate their war experiences to Shakespeare's Hamlet. For each of them, the stage is a platform to express their grief and trauma through the famous question, "to be or not to be," a dilemma that applies to their own lives. The protagonists fight against disappointment, powerlessness, and anger, trying to put their lives back in order while processing their painful past.
