“As society increasingly chooses to distance itself from the topic of the war in Ukraine, Polish director Damian Kocur, whose debut Bread and Salt was adored by the Kino Pavasaris audience, reminds us that Europe is living at the foot of a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Under the volcano is a highly sensitive portrait of the emotional state of a young Ukrainian family.
