THE MAYOR

Director: David Djambazov Country: Bulgaria / 25 min.

War veteran Volodymyr had achieved his dream job - mayor of Chortkiv, Ukraine, population 28,279. When Putin’s brutal war is unleashed upon the whole country, the irrepressible mayor finds that even civilian life has turned into a series of desperate battles. To keep the shelters dry, to fix the
school, even to keep the bacteria in the water cleaning plant alive is no small task. Not to speak of comforting the grief and giving hope to his fellow citizens. And the phone keeps on ringing.
