The opening night of Stockfish Film Festival hosted Klondike (2022). “The film is about a Ukrainian family that lives on the borders of Russia and Ukraine in the start of the Russo-Ukraine war that began in 2014 and is, in many ways, a precursor of the terrible war currently raging in Ukraine,” tells the Stockfish website.
