Time to the Target
The “time to target” refers to how long a rocket needs to reach its target. Even far away from the front, the Ukrainian population is not safe from military attacks. Not safe from death, destruction and the consequences on society of a war of attrition. Lviv in western Ukraine, birthplace of director Vitaly Mansky, is struggling to retain a degree of normality, albeit without letting the daily losses of war become routine. The springtime bustle of the city’s historical centre and its rush hour, city tours and rallies, school lessons and coffee house noise is interrupted by bells of mourning and minutes of silence again and again. The city cemetery fills up with flags and wooden crosses. Over one year, the film accompanies the musicians of a military orchestra, veterans and civilians in how they make it through their everyday lives – with heart, wit and the courage to face a merciless reality. One spring and one year of war later: new recruits are deployed. The circle closes. And it becomes painfully clear that peace refers to nothing but the time before a rocket hits.
