Zgodba nas dvigne na vrhunec človeške vrline in spusti v najglobji prepad slišanja in razumevanja pravice. V državi z največjo policijsko silo, Ukrajini, so v podeželskih skupnostih ostali brez policistov. Pa vendar je ena skupnost našla rešitev. Na županovo pobudo so ljudje izbrali dva lokalna moža, dva policista v pokoju, Victorja in Volodyo, jima dali moč da poskrbita za javni red in mir ter avto, in ju razglasili za “šerifa”.
Ukrajinska šerifa je resnična zgodba o dveh lokalnih šerifih in vaščanih odmaknjene vasice pri Krimu, Stare Zburievke. Medtem ko kamera sledi šerifom pri opravljanju nenavadnih, vendar vsakdanjih dolžnosti, nam zgodba razkriva življenje vaščanov onstran vojne in trenutnih političnih dogodkov ter v ospredje postavlja napetost med osebnim preživetjem in politično pravico.
Kar je bilo mišljeno kot film o kopici ljudi iz ukrajinskega podeželja in njihovih vsakdanjih izzivih, ki nastajajo predvsem zaradi velike brezposelnosti, revščine in nepismenosti, na koncu portretira vero celotnega naroda na prelomni točki v njegovi zgodovini.

SYNOPSYS:
The story elevates us to the heights of a human virtue and throws us into the deepest abyss of us hearing and understanding injustice. In a country with the biggest police force in Europe, Ukraine, there is a lack of policemen in rural communities. However, one rural community has found a solution. On the mayor’s initiative, people chose two local men, two retired policemen, Victor and Volodya, and gave them power to take care of the public order, as well as a car, and named them “sheriffs”.
Ukrainian Sheriffs is a real life story about two local sheriffs and the villagers of a remote village near Crimea, Stara Zburievka. Following the sheriffs on their everyday duties, the story gives us a look beyond the war and the ongoing political events inside the everyday life of the villagers, foregrounding the tension between personal survival and political justice.
What was meant to be a film about a few people from the Ukrainian countryside and their everyday struggles, arousing mainly from prevalent unemployment, poverty and illiteracy, at the end portrays the faith of a whole nation during the turning period in its history.
