Historia
Frost follows Rokas, a young Lithuanian man who accepts the task of delivering humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian army amidst their conflict with Russia. Accompanied by his girlfriend Inga, they embark on this journey where they encounter the harsh realities and horrors of war. Along the way, they interact with a group of journalists living in a hedonistic bubble, an experience that leads to a crisis in their relationship. The story navigates through disturbing silences and sharp dialogues, showing the desolation and tedium faced by Rokas and Inga as they grapple with the fears generated by the war.
Resumen
Directed by Sharunas Bartas, Frost is a unique blend of a philosophical war film and an existential road movie. It provides a compelling exploration of the Ukrainian conflict through intriguing close-ups, ambiguous psychologies, and utterly absorbing conversations. The film features the enigmatic presence of Vanessa Paradis in a supporting role. While the plot centers around Rokas' journey as a humanitarian aid deliverer, it also delves into the personal transformation of its protagonists amidst the backdrop of war.
