Blindfold

Yulia is a successful athlete, a mixed martial arts fighter. Her life suddenly changes when she learns that her boyfriend has died in the war in eastern Ukraine. The public expects her to wear the mourning veil and, from this moment forth, play the role of the war hero's widow. And yet Yulia wants to determine the direction her life takes, and the role she plays in it, for herself. (FilmFestival Cottbus)
