Kruty. Hostomel Line

The documentary follows a rifle battalion made up of 18-year-old cadets who were tasked with defending a crucial bridge from Gostomel to Kyiv during the early days of the conflict. Led by a general, these young soldiers faced significant challenges as they battled enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups on February 25, 2022.

The film details their first confrontation with the enemy, highlighting their determination despite being unaware of the enemy's actual strength and equipment. For nearly a month, the cadets held their ground against repeated Russian attempts to exploit weaknesses in their defense. 'Kruty. Hostomel Line' not only documents this intense struggle but also serves as a tribute to the courage of these young defenders.
