Dasha, a young cinematographer, is going home from Germany to Druzhkivka, Donetsk region. She had not been home for two years, since the beginning of the war. Upon exiting the train, she immediately runs into her old friend Andrii, with whom she once filmed a documentary and now shares a mutual sympathy. Now, he is a military man. Dasha's parents pick her up, and she asks them to give Andrii a lift. On the way home, Andrii is invited to dinner. Dasha spends her weekends with him, gets to know his platoon commander, and falls into the vortex of Andrii's internal conflicts with his military colleagues. When Andrii got wounded at the front, his expensive things - a bulletproof vest and a helmet - were supposed to be retrieved by his colleagues, who, however, were just not disciplined enough and lost Andrii's things.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
