The Unwomanly Face of War
У войны не женское лицо
Synopsis
A woman’s perspective on the reality of wartime is a simple human truth, filled with piercing details that seem unbelievable. It is a truth that is not mentioned in official documents, films, or books from the Soviet era, and it is even absent from the memoirs of male veterans. This is a play about life, where concepts like honor, love for the motherland, and compassion held great significance.
