Cuba & Alaska

Cuba and Alaska are two young medics working together in the war-torn Kharkiv region. Their mission is to save lives, crack jokes, and dream of better times.

Constantly juggling action-packed evacuations and nighttime callouts, best friends Cuba and Alaska still manage to find time to chat about fashion collections and art – a life that on the front line seems to be so far away. Amidst the brutality of war and humanity, between death and life, between duty and creativity, a vivid portrait emerges of the unbreakable friendship between these two women. The chaos of war is bearable when you have someone to laugh and dream with.
