Divia is a meditative, sound-driven journey through a wounded land--an elemental portrait of Ukraine before, during, and beyond the full-scale invasion. Without dialogue or narration, the film unfolds as a metaphysical symphony, where landscapes bear silent testimony to destruction and quiet resilience. Ashen forests, cratered fields, and the rusting skeletons of war machines haunt the frame--each image a trace of the violence etched into the soil. Yet even here, nature does not halt. Seasons return. Grass pushes through scorched earth. Regeneration begins--slowly, insistently. Through this reverent silence move deminers, body searchers, environmentalists, and animal rescuers. Their presence, almost spectral, speaks of both grief and grace. Divia invites viewers into a space where beauty and devastation coexist, and where the act of witnessing becomes a form of renewal.

For some reason, human beings have felt the need to prove to themselves that we can destroy as effectively as we can create, or better. Divia is a powerful visual archive of a war that feels like a mirage of the past. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Kenneth R. Morefield 1More Film Blog Oct 20

The film fails to move the viewer beyond the broad claim, which most probably already assented to, that war is bad for the earth. Go to Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Film Fugitives Oct 9

Divia is a film that won’t change the minds of those who are in support of war. Divia is a film that won’t change the minds of those who are against war. Divia is for those fence-sitters who think war is too political a topic to talk about. Go to Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Oct 6

In the end, Divia is both an elegy and a reminder that even in the wake of destruction, life — both human and natural — finds a way of coming back. Go to Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Sep 29
