Of love and war

Mario and Tatiana: six weeks of love and two years of Russian gulag

The story of the Valencian retiree Mario, imprisoned by the Russians, and Tatiana, the Ukrainian girlfriend willing to "wait for him 10 years if necessary." He works in a supermarket for 300 euros, takes care of his mother with dementia and an 18-year-old daughter, and every month he dedicates two or three Sundays to traveling to kyiv to fight for his release.
