Plot



The Ukrainian State Film Agency gives the following description of the film: "A Ukrainian priest, a chaplain, trying to get out of the grey zone, comes across a separatist convoy that has been shelled, where he meets a mortally wounded mercenary and is faced with a choice – to help or to keep running, but suddenly he accidentally steps on an anti-personnel mine."
On 9 July 2020, the short film God Will Forgive was one of the winners of the 13th Ukrainian State Film Council pitch and received funding after a vote by the State Council for the Support of Cinematography, and was also included in the selection of the 6 most interesting debut short film projects in the 13th Ukrainian State Film Council pitch.
On 8 November 2020, the Art Centre of Odesa Film Studio organised an award ceremony for the participants of the short film project Kira Muratova Short Encounters, where the script for God Will Forgive came second and received funding for the film project.
The film stars Viktor Zhdanov, who has also appeared in the films Cyborgs, Ex, Volcano, Zachar Berkut and other Ukrainian films and TV series.
The film was shot by TUARON with the help of the Ukrainian National Guard, which provided equipment and personnel. The film was produced by Mila Andriiash, Olga Klymenko and Swedish film producer Anton Sova.
The film reveals the acute problem of mined areas and was screened at international film festivals in Spain, Ukraine, Germany, US and Sweden.
