The film is not just about one country's seemingly eternal battle with a stronger enemy, but a battle for liberty, independence, autonomy,and enfranchisement.
When the superior force surrounds you and claims your body and soul for its Empire building, it feels like a never ending quest. Worse still is that the cancer also grows from within, when former masters sowed seeds of cancerous elements and discord into all facets of Ukrainian daily life. Russia will never stop it's ambitions until every Ukrainian is under their thumbs.
