Full Synopsis

Time Machine Maidan creates a haunting connection between the bloody Maidan Revolution in Ukraine and today’s battlefields. Through the eyes of a wounded soldier drifting across history, the film takes us to the cold Kyiv of December 2013 as our protagonist searches for Maksym, also known as Dali - a young poet and future warrior he knows is destined to die.
