"Intercepted" is a documentary film about the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine since February 2022. Images that capture the extent of the destruction are combined and contrasted on the soundtrack with telephone calls made by Russian soldiers from Ukraine to family members at home, mostly mothers and partners, which were intercepted by the Ukrainian secret service. The film celebrated its premiere at the Berlinale in February 2024.
