Sunshine, a beautiful scenery and a good time with loved ones: a Ukrainian family is spending their last holidays on the island of Tenerife.

A Ukrainian family is enjoying their vacation in Spain when they suddenly receive the news of Russia’s invasion of their homeland. Unable to return to Kyiv, they go from tourists to refugees overnight, struggling to accept their new reality. This subtle social drama, almost Antonioni-like in its depiction of emotional paralysis, explores the traumatic effects of a tragic event on the relationships and bonds of people who feel as though the ground has vanished beneath their feet. With a melancholic directorial tone that beautifully visualizes the characters’ fractured psyches, an elegiac atmosphere, and a deep sensitivity, Under the Volcano addresses themes of grief and emotional alienation. It presents a unique and unexpected perspective on the war in Ukraine: Instead of battlefields, corpses, and ruined buildings, it delves into the devastated inner world of those who have nowhere left to return to.
