“Vitja” by Christina Keilmann (c) FH Dortmund

Homosexual Viktor flees Moscow after the start of the war in Ukraine and goes into hiding in Berlin. There he falls in love with David. But it soon becomes clear that Viktor has a secret. A balancing act between closeness and distance begins. Vitya is the psychogram of a Russian migrant and at the same time tells of the possibility of personal development.
