Okean Elzy: Stormwatch

A biographical music documentary about Okean Elzy - Ukraine's most iconic band: from obscurity to stadiums, their journey spans internal conflicts, creative challenges, and the country's turbulent history.

The film is based on the detailed and dramatic 30-year history of the band, whose songs unite Ukrainians and have become a symbol of freedom, love, and struggle. Okean Elzy: Observing the Storm combines unique archival materials, unknown facts, and sincere memories of the people who created and developed the band's history. It is a candid story in which, alongside musical triumphs and great popularity, there were also personal conflicts, painful breakups, and historical challenges that the country was going through.

Key events include the early days when no one in Lviv took the band seriously, stories about moving to Kyiv, the release of cult albums, changes in the band's lineup, and the path to the country's largest stadiums and renowned venues around the world. And also — the birth of songs that became true national hits, large-scale tours, participation in two revolutions, and support for Ukrainians during the war.
