An intimate confession by director David Van offers an authentic view of war and unexpected moments of humanity. The short documentary captures tension as well as absurd humor during a humanitarian mission in Ukraine – through the eyes of a man encountering war for the first time. Hey, Czechs! was created during two missions of the organization Memory of Nations, which delivered medical supplies to the Ukrainian army. During these missions, the director was able to look into the work of humanitarian workers and visit areas heavily affected by the war. These images became the basis of a film that brings the viewer the atmosphere of life in city streets, devastated villages, and the mood of local residents and soldiers.
