Storyline

Hnutove, Donbass, eastern Ukraine, 2015. Young Oleg lives in a war zone where anti-aircraft gunshots and missile attacks often resonate dangerously near. Although many inhabitants have already left this dangerous area, he remains with his grandmother, who has cared for him since his mother's death, because they have nowhere to go. They are just waiting for the war to end.

A really interesting "daily life" type of film where, over the course of it, you see Oleg and his friends shaped by internal stress.

Childhood during wartime is hardly a new subject for filmmakers of any stripe, but The Distant Barking of Dogs finds its own special nonfiction space.

Lereng Wilmont's subjects earn their stray moments of rustic poetry; so does his film.

[Simon Lereng Wilmont] has crafted a beautiful, poetic observational documentary.
