A couple enters a contested area to bring home their 14-year-old daughter, kidnapped and held in Russian-occupied territory. When their car comes under fire, a desperate attempt to save her turns into a high-risk military operation. Commander SOVA and drone engineer SID coordinate the rescue, while an American journalist and an unexpected ultimatum complicate the mission. What begins as a family’s personal struggle soon draws international attention.
Inspired by an actual rescue operation carried out in 2022, Liubomyr Levytskyi’s KILLHOUSE brings the intensity of a tactical action thriller to the realities of modern warfare. FPV drones, immersive camera perspectives and fast-paced editing place the audience in the middle of the action. Featuring active-duty soldiers and veterans alongside professional actors, the film achieves an unusual sense of immediacy and authenticity. Beyond the military tactics and technological precision lies a deeply human story about the lengths people will go to save those they love.
