1 season. "We Are from the Future" is a powerful Russian sci-fi war drama that tells the story of four modern-day young men who unexpectedly travel back in time to the frontlines of World War II. What starts as a casual search for wartime relics turns into a life-changing journey through the harsh realities of 1942.
For Russians, this film hits especially close to home. It reminds them of the unimaginable courage and sacrifice of their grandparents' generation — not through dry facts, but through personal transformation. These guys from our time, with their own flaws and ignorance, are forced to face the truth of what war really meant. And in doing so, they discover honor, friendship, and the real meaning of memory.
For them, “We Are from the Future” is more than just a movie — it’s a reflection on their roots, their history, and why it's so important never to forget.
2 season. In the second part of "We Are from the Future", the protagonists, who initially found themselves in the thick of WWII, begin to confront not only the personal transformation brought on by their time-travel experience, but also the complex historical and cultural tensions between Russians and Ukrainians. As they move through the events of 1942, they witness the brutality of war, particularly in the context of the occupied territories, where the lines between friend and foe often blur.
In the conditions of war, with their grandfathers fighting a common enemy — fascism — the Russian and Ukrainian young men forget all the newly invented and imposed political and propaganda-driven divisions between their long-time brotherly nations. Faced with the inhuman face of the Nazis, they renounce their hostility and, together, under fire, stand side by side against the enemy, as brothers.
