Broken Ties

The documentary Broken Ties offers an unflinching look at families affected by war, presenting seven different pairings of individuals who share their perspectives with filmmaker Andrei Loshak. Their one-on-one conversations span the first three months of the war, revealing the unchanged opinions that persist despite the conflict surrounding them.

Loshak's work eschews dialogue in favor of a raw portrayal of the absence of communication, showcasing how official propaganda can fracture even the strongest familial bonds. This film serves as a somber examination of societal sickness, emphasizing the emotional distance created by war. Collectors may find interest in its unique approach to storytelling and the poignant subject matter.
