The Forgotten (Ukrainian: Забуті, romanizedZabuti) is a Ukrainian-Swiss co-production drama directed by Daria Onishchenko in 2019. The film tells the story of a thirty-year-old Ukrainian language teacher, Nina, who lives in Luhansk, occupied during the Russian-Ukrainian war, and who, due to the ban on the Ukrainian language by the Russian occupation authorities, is forced to retrain from a Ukrainian language teacher to a Russian language teacher, and at the same time struggle with internal experiences and feelings due to a sudden outbreak of love between her and a local seventeen-year-old boy.

The world premiere of the film took place on October 12, 2019, at the 35th Warsaw Film Festival as part of the competition program "1-2" ("Competition of the first and second feature films of young directors"), where the film received a special mention from the jury.[1] The film was presented in Ukraine on August 22, 2020, as part of the non-competitive program of the 49th Kyiv International Film Festival "Molodist". The film was released in Ukrainian limited rental on September 3, 2020, and is distributed by Arthouse traffic.[2]
