At first, Juri Rechinsky only went as far as the Ukrainian border, supporting friends, family and refugees in the first weeks of the war. But as he came to appreciate the almost inconceivable repercussions of the invasion on Ukrainian society, his need to risk a trip to the front became more urgent. DEAR BEAUTIFUL BELOVED documents the filmmaker's journeys to his own borders and into the invisible zones of the war region, along the grim routes of grief that has become an everyday phenomenon.
