Free Birds

2025 Drama War 20 min PG-13

In a quiet rural corner of Ukraine, Pavlo, a stoic farmer in his late 30s, tends to his land, animals, and memories. A solitary man marked by loss, Pavlo's life is defined by tender routines and the subdued ache of absence. When war encroaches, Pavlo transitions from nurturing life to piloting FPV drones for Ukraine's military. Free Birds is a lyrical, quietly devastating exploration of resilience, love, and the blurred line between cultivating life and waging war.
