Valentina Zaitseva

A claustrophobic plunge into the dystopian heart of darkness inspired by the director’s own detention, "Tomorrow Was War" unspools on a fraught New Year’s Eve in a Russian police state. Shura, a trans man hiding in plain sight, dreads his prying neighbors and the inevitable knock at the door. As the night fractures, so does the narrative — steered by the officer who arrested him, an architect of memory who twists history, truth, and identity to his will.
