PUTIN’S PLAYGROUND / ІГРОВИЙ МАЙДАНЧИК ПУТІНА

2024 / 92' / Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Bulgaria, Norway, Latvia

A pair of Polish documentary filmmakers are travelling through Central and Eastern Europe. They are looking for traces of the hybrid war used by Putin to rebuild the Russian empire.  They track down GRU agents who blew up ammunition depots and poisoned Moscow's opponents with novichok. They meet two presidents, a prime minister, a defence minister, a captured Russian spy, and a dozen agents of influence. The sum of these experiences leads to a disturbing conclusion and... a surprising finale.
