No one has come to symbolise Ukraine more than its battered president, Volodymyr Zelensky. By staying in Kyiv when the Russians invaded his country, he changed the course of the conflict. But the story of Zelensky is one of many contradictions. Featuring rare access to President Zelenksy and the people who have known him since his childhood – as well as photos, film archives and never-before-seen eyewitness accounts – this film paints a picture of both the president and his country.

Since February 24, 2022, Zelensky has been the embodiment of a nation on the frontlines. Born in the town of Kryvyï Rih, raised in the Soviet style like all young children of his generation, he is now fighting against Putin’s Russia. This film tells the story of this double metamorphosis.
