Julia Blue (2018)

In the heart of the 2014 Kyiv revolution, young JULIA finds her passion ignited by the raw intensity of the protest scenes, leading her to pursue photography. As the echoes of the revolution fade a year later, she sets her heart on a brighter future beyond the borders of her cherished Ukraine, her hopes pinned on a prestigious German photography school. In the interim, Julia finds purpose in volunteering at a military hospital, easing the pain of injured soldiers freshly returned from the battlefield with her buoyant spirit. Her world tilts on its axis when she encounters ENGLISH, a soldier whose superficial injuries belie the profound emotional trauma within. A tender bond blossoms between them, yet each harbors a secret that could shatter their fragile connection. The test of their relationship comes when Julia invites English to a family wedding, and the weight of their concealed truths threatens to fracture more than just their bond. Julia Blue is a poignant exploration of the ephemeral nature of freedom in the modern world, and the costs we bear for love and war. It serves as a stark reminder of the sometimes agonizing decisions that accompany the pursuit of liberty. The film beautifully encapsulates the choices we make, the secrets we keep, and the sacrifices we endure in the name of freedom.

Julia Blue is a drama movie featuring Dima Yaroshenko and directed by Roxy Toporowych.
