Memories. Painful memories. The film is a journey. It is enclosed in three conditional spaces, namely, a hostel for internally displaced persons, abandoned in an empty field, who exist outside the present and future, with a torn, burned past. Twilight cold Moscow with a Chechen guy wandering through its streets, the vocalist of the Dead Dolphins group, Artur, who remembers his once beloved city, but does not want to return and see the place where his house used to be. Emaciated, abandoned by the souls that once inhabited it, the city of Grozny, in which, for the first time after the war, a Russian girl comes to see her home, return to her childhood and "die in it", saying goodbye to him forever for all those who have lost his home and country.

The video of the execution appeared online immediately after the brutal murder of two migrants. Moreover, while the Russian law enforcement agencies showed a strange apathy in the investigation, the Nazis quite frankly took responsibility for it. In this situation, an Israeli director penetrates under the guise of a sympathizer into the darkest nooks and crannies of the fascist underground in order to find and expose the killers. However, the result, the documentary thriller Credit for a Kill, paints an ominous picture: many unsolved hate crimes committed in Russia go unpunished, perhaps precisely because they were committed with the assistance of the authorities.

Sasha Sokolov is a man of mystery. Even more is known about his father, a deeply classified GRU agent, than about his son, a famous Russian writer. Sasha Sokolov's main novel "School for Fools" was called the Russian "The Catcher in the Rye", and Sasha himself was exalted to the "Russian Joyce". In 1975, Sokolov disappeared from the Soviet Union, published three novels, and either disappeared or closed himself off from the world. Many of his fans are sure that he has long been dead. The authors of the film did not just find out that the great Russian writer is alive, they found out that he (like his father) has been leading an interesting double life all these years. They searched for it in different countries and found it. And the writer Sasha Sokolov agreed to speak for the first time. The conversation went on for ten days. The writer spoke about life, simultaneously revealing the secrets of his secret biography, his and his family.

Amin Nawabi (a pseudonym), a 36-year-old high-achieving academic, grapples with a painful secret he has kept hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon to be husband. Recounted mostly through animation to director Jonas Poher Rasmussen — his close friend and high-school classmate, for the first time he tells the story of his extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan. Through heartfelt interviews between Jonas and Amin, FLEE tells an unforgettable story of self-discovery. It reveals how only by confronting the past is it possible to carve out a future; and the universal truth that only when you stop fleeing from who you are can you find the true meaning of home.
