About The Holodomor, where millions of Ukrainians died via Soviet-ordered starvation during the early 1930s.
Story is portrayed as a romantic-drama, but is better than nothing to bring the often overlooked part of history to the
forefront. A genocide where millions died.

The plot of Bitter Harvest follows two lovers struggling to survive The Holodomor, Kremlin's regime forced Famine Genocide, with their Cossack grain farmer families. Inspired by actual events, Bitter Harvest is set at the time of the Ukrainian famine Genocide of 1932–33. As Stalin attempts to build a strong and prosperous Soviet Union, a young artist born into a Ukrainian Cossack family named Yuri (Max Irons) fights to survive starvation, detainment and torture to spare his childhood sweetheart Natalka (Samantha Barks) from the Famine-Genocide. Against this backdrop, Yuri escapes from a Soviet prison and joins the anti-Bolshevik resistance movement as he fights to rejoin with Natalka and proceed with the battle for a free Ukraine.
