SYNOPSIS
After a few months of the full-scale invasion, people start going back to their regular lives despite the intangible danger of missile strikes hanging over cities as the need for normality begins to overpower the fear of death. “You Know It's Going to Be About War” paints a fair and honest picture of a youth caught up in the endless routine of war, driven by a lust for life, punctuated with bursts of guilt, anger and hope. All the characters are connected by their close relationship with the director. Through candid conversations with her friends and family, the director seeks an understanding of how to navigate the new reality, where war becomes a routine without an end in sight. It is a journey to celebrate life despite the war.
