The story

What Is The Guidebook About?

The premise of The Guidebook without spoilers.

Several cameras travel from Kyiv’s outskirts into the heart of the city, chronicling everyday moments that reveal urban life. The film’s “characters” are its viewers—local residents, newcomers seeking opportunity, and tourists—whose actions shape the city’s rhythm. From hunting central apartments to locating a notary in Novobelychi, it explores housing, labor and real‑estate markets, prices, routes, and the city’s past, present and future.
