SHTTL portrays the lives of people in a small Ukrainian Jewish town (shtetl) at the Polish border, 24 hours before the Nazi invasion. It is a touching story of a filmmaker who returns from Kyiv to his native shtetl to marry the love of his life and disrupts the balance of the entire town. In one unflinching shot, SHTTL presents a day in the life of a shtetl before it disappears in the aftermath of the Holocaust. The production fully reconstructed a traditional shtetl outside of Kyiv, which is planned to be turned into a museum.
