The creators of the drama “Sunshine” decided to tell the truth about the events in Donbass in 2014.
This week the premiere of the film “Sunshine” will take place, which will tell about the events of 2014 that occurred in the Donbass. The posters and trailers of the film are shocking, but the creators promise to show the events as they really happened.
Judging by the trailers and posters, the drama will be brutal but true. Russian director Mikhail Wasserbaum decided to show the events that took place in Ukraine seven years ago.
Netizens saw a lot of human suffering in the trailers. In parallel with shots of family gatherings and peaceful life, viewers watch barricades being built and bombers flying. Screams and explosions can be heard in the background of the song “Beautiful Far Away.” The filmmakers published several posters on the official website. In them, doctors, children, old people, teachers and civilians are surrounded by an atmosphere of chaos, without which not a single armed conflict can exist.
The title of the painting “Sunshine” is not only a reference to the phenomenal heat of May 2014, but also to the name of the heavy flamethrower system. Each poster features explosions, blood and fire. Viewers unfamiliar with the history of Donbass will see it without embellishment.
It's hard to see these posters. It won't be easy to watch the movie either. However, it was even more difficult for residents of Lugansk in 2014, including the Novozhilov family. According to the plot, Vlad Novozhilov (a former Afghan soldier) and his loved ones find themselves in a combat zone. He knows firsthand about the horrors of war and wants to get out of the country as soon as possible, but the borders are closed. Vlad must make a difficult choice.
In the spring of 2014, the conflict in Donbass claimed the lives of more than six thousand civilians. Many of them were forced to take up arms to save their children and wives from death. Residents of the Lugansk region write in the comments to the trailer that watching it is not easy, but it is necessary to understand what really happened seven years ago.
