How does someone experience going from working in a City Hall, or in a bread distribution company, to driving a tank to try to destroy the Russian Army?
What's it like going from planning a trip to Barcelona to watch a soccer game to learning how to shoot and living in abandoned houses?
This is what has happened to more than half a million civilians who have been called to fight in the war in Ukraine after the Russian invasion of February 24, 2022. Two years have passed since then, and many of them are still fighting .
This is the largest mobilization of civilians in Europe since the Second World War.
To tell their daily story, a team of journalists from EL PAÍS made up of Mónica Ceberio, Cristian Segura, Carlos Martínez and Luis de Vega lived with the First Armored Tank Brigade of the Ukrainian Army.
The result is this documentary about the war in Ukraine focused on what does not make the headlines: the story of Alexander, Volodymyr and Taras, three soldiers who previously led absolutely normal lives, just like any of us.
But the war changed everything.
