The Ukrainian VOD platform Takflix.com has released a collection of four short films under the title "Mariupol, I Love You," about the city that is currently under siege by the Russian army for more than two weeks, leaving 300,000 civilians without electricity, food or water.  

The films describe life in the city before the invasion and were made by Mariupol locals in 2017-2021. They are stories of everyday life, dreams and relationships and how they were influenced by what is now considered the first phase of the war in 2014.
