Anna, an ambulance doctor, arrives at a night call which brings back her painful past and challenges her moral compass. Dutch Premiere

Synopsis

Anna, an ambulance doctor, stands in line for absolution in a church in Kiev. As her turn nears, she goes over the recent tragic events in her life in her mind. Her child has been run over and killed by a drunk driver, a rich and well-connected man. Escaping justice, he turns up at the child’s funeral, offering Anna cash as a way of asking her forgiveness. A few years later, Anna is – by a chance of fate – called to the man’s house to resuscitate him after a heart attack. A short film by Christina Tynkevych, a Ukrainian director who studied film in London at the University of the Arts and University of Westminster. Her short documentary ‘’Kraina’’ has received a lot of festival attention and was long-listed for the Oscars 2017.
