Peace for Nina is a survivor’s tale following a Ukrainian woman whose life has been beset by war and the loss of her most beloved ones. Nina`s son Ihor Branovytsky, soldier of the Ukrainian Army, is captured and summarily executed by Russian mercenaries, while defending Donetsk airport in 2015. As a way to cope with her son’s death, Nina collects evidence of his extrajudicial execution in captivity. She wants to ensure that what happened to her son is recognised as a war crime. She finds solace in building friendships with other mothers who have lost sons and daughters to the war. Only they can fully understand her pain.  Will Nina ever truly find peace in herself and with the world around her? Especially, when her worst fears have come true and the war has now affected all Ukrainians?

War crimes that are not named as such give rise to greater evil and greater wars. We need to open a discussion on the necessary changes to international legislation on the punishment of war crimes in such a way that it would allow for the recognition of war criminals not only those physically present at trials, but also in absentia, as well as those perpetrators who are no longer alive. The documentary Peace for Nina can be a trigger for such discussions at the high international level. We feel that it is important to show this film in front of international institutions that can trigger investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated during the Russian-Ukrainian War since 2014, among them the European Court of Human Rights, the International Criminal Court, the Council of Europe, the United Nations.
