is a provocative feature film from the sprawling, multi-platform cinematic experiment known as the DAU project . Directed by Ilya Khrzhanovskiy and Jekaterina Oertel , the film serves as a character-driven entry into a series that blurs the lines between reality and historical simulation.

I just emerged from the immersive and thought-provoking experience of DAU. Katya Tanya, and I'm still reeling from its unflinching portrayal of life in Soviet Ukraine. As part of the DAU series, this film continues the franchise's tradition of plunging viewers into the harsh realities of everyday existence under Soviet rule.
