「媽媽,戰爭結束後我們會回來吧?」
透過駕駛救援車的導演視角,本片貼身記錄了烏克蘭平民們被迫放棄一切、逃離這場衝突的歷程。這輛廂型車開過重重檢查哨、穿越數萬公里的家園,既是等待室、醫院、避難所,也是向同胞吐露心聲的地方。
In the Rearview is an authentic, intimate observation of war as it unfolds, following multiple generations of Ukrainian civilians as they abruptly abandon their homes and rely on the help of director Maciek Hamela’s volunteer aid van to escape the life-threatening conflict. As he steers through minefields to leave Ukraine and tries to get through numerous military checkpoints, Hamela offers us a seat in his car, guiding the documentary from behind the wheel and behind the camera, crisscrossing the roads of Ukraine to transport uprooted refugees safely to Poland. The van traverses tens of thousands of kilometers and serves as a waiting room, hospital, shelter, and zone for confidences and confessions among compatriots thrown together by chance.
