Bucha is a feature drama film based on actual events in Bucha, Vorzel, and Hostomel (Kyiv region) during the Russian occupation in the first months of the war in February-March 2022. The film is based on real events and tells stories about the rescue of Bucha residents by Konstantin Gudauskas, a citizen of Kazakhstan who received asylum in Ukraine and lived in Bucha. Konstantin not only saved people, but also became an eyewitness to all the horrors of war and occupation.
