The first explosion, followed by the second and third. Did it really happen? The war began. What shall I do? What are the first steps? Call loved ones! Find the nearest bomb shelter! Flee… Flee? "February" is a poignant film-chronicle about the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, documented first-hand. The story of a small town that survived, thus changing the course of the war. The basis is a story about the events that took place in Chernihiv from the first days of the invasion from the residents themselves, who remained in the city and each did their own thing: protected, rescued, treated, helped, exceeding their human capabilities every day. This is not just a cinematic reflection on events, but an example of incredible courage, dedication, self-organization, self-sacrifice for others. The film "February" is not another reminder of the war in Europe in the 21st century, in times of highly developed social emotional intelligence and empathy. It is designed to inform the viewer that the civilized values and peaceful life of entire countries, regardless of their geography, level of development, and era of existence, may be under a devastating threat of abuse, barbarism, and mass murder. A warning film, born on the terrain of a terrible reality, in which more than 40 million people of Ukraine found themselves.
