A filmmaker returns from Kyiv to his rural village to marry the love of his life. He is expected to marry the Rabbi's daughter, which disrupts the balance of the whole town. In one unflinching shot, this film presents a day in the life of a Jewish village before it disappears. SHTTL is the story of the inhabitants of a Yiddish Ukrainian village at the border of Poland, 24 hours before the Nazi invasion, known as Operation Barbarossa. Today, there are no such villages in existence; the production fully reconstructed a traditional 'Shtetl' outside of Kyiv, which is planned to be turned into a museum.

Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle I doubt there is another film with quite the same chutzpah. Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Profound in its simplicity, eloquent in its complexity. SHTTL stands alongside other great works about our recent history, bringing to mind the humanism of Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. Rated: 5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Rubén Rosario MiamiArtZine Too much of what Walter wants to accomplish feels like a stunt. You can almost hear the filmmaker say to himself, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” May 30, 2023 Full Review Barry Levitt Slashfilm A Towering, Single-Take Masterpiece Of The Lives We've Lost. Rated: 10/10 Apr 18, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills As such communities have long since been eradicated from the region, the filmmakers constructed an elaborate shetl set... Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Debut French director Ady Walter brilliantly immerses the audience into what was once Galicia on June 21, 1941. The camera walks through a vivid crowd of pressures and antagonisms not usually seen in more typical schmaltzy remembrances of such shtetls. Rated: 10/10 Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
