Cenzorka (2021)

More than expected

It is a heavy, uncomfortable but a sensitive and heart-warming film.

It takes its slow motions from the beginning as the scene is in a woman prison in Odessa. We get to know sentenced women who has killed someone. Either the cheating husband or his lover.

They all have a child. Most of them gave birth during their prison time.

We can follow the absurdity, cruelty of their life as well as their children in prison and the guards.

At the end we can experience a reliving moment as how life, humanity, emotions, woman towards a child can raise above all hardship that life brings especially in an ex-communist country Ukraine.
