Driving through Europe, Douglas watches what seems to be a family. As they enter into Ukraine, the trip does not run as espected.

ARGUMENT

40 days after my mother died in COVID19, the Ukrainean war started at the border, I felt a duty to participate and support the Ukrainean people, I entered into Ukraine multiple times, evacuating from frontlines and making logistic for the refugees (FlixBus free transportation- from Romania to Europe, Dnipru support- Batalion Zero, logistic for the crowded borders). I decided to talk a feature film to express what I have lived during a year of war.

I need to put words to events that rejects words. I am not a socialist, not a moralist, nor a politician. I am not offering messages, I just tell stories that I observe around me. Through the film Bridges I tell a story about an emotion, mine, as I came in contact with Ukraine, a world wich has never been mine until the war has started.

This war is a dissonance, a diffusion, a separation of logic, a crisis, a showcase of the difficult relationship between subjects, environments and events. I would like this to change. I also believe in the individual impact over events.

We assume the risk of filming a fiction film into a war zone.

We are confident that this film will be a success internationally, and we will do everything possible to recognize your contribution.

Together, we can bring this emotional story to a wide audience, to inspire and encourage people to believe in their power to overcome obstacles.
