“Militantropos” captures the human condition through the fractured realities of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The film reconstructs daily lives shattered by the war — those who flee, those who lose everything, and those who remain to resist and fight — tracing both the instinct for survival and the need for closeness. At the heart of devastation and atrocities, the human being is absorbed by war — and war, in turn, becomes part of the human.

Presented in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.
