An Officer’s Star

How two Donbass heroes fell in love amid shelling

Just like a heartfelt page pulled from a family album, this documentary unveils a love story in one of the most challenging places on earth. 'Sumerian', Deputy Commander for Military and Political Work in the Russian Army, came across retired warrant officer Zoya, a delicate woman with a strong character, right on the frontlines. As the Ukrainian government declared war on its own people following the 2014 coup d'état, both 'Sumerian' and Zoya volunteered to join the war. They met while being under constant Ukrainian artillery fire in Lugansk. This encounter transformed their entire lives. Delve into the film to witness how two devoted hearts navigated through the toughest challenges of their entire lives.
