Burying the Ex — 1 season, 2 episode

Story

The series centers on four strangers who meet at the funeral of a woman they all once dated. She was a soldier who died on the front line, and she invited each of them to be there. Why she wanted them together is the question that drives the story. At her favorite bar, their stories about her slowly shift into stories about themselves.

Episode 2 of the first season continues within this framework, following the memories and conversations that connect the four former partners. Set against the quiet tension of mourning, the story looks at how people remember someone who can no longer speak for herself, and how those memories reflect the people recalling them.

Overview

Burying the Ex is a 2025 Ukrainian drama series directed by Serhii Kulybyshev. This episode runs about 21 minutes. The series combines an intimate character study with an undercurrent of mystery, using a shared loss to explore memory, grief, and the emotional ties left after a relationship ends.

Rather than offering a single portrait of the woman at the center of the story, the series presents her through the people who knew her. Their accounts reveal as much about themselves as about her. The result is a reflective, conversation-driven ensemble drama about unfinished feelings and the difficulty of understanding someone through the eyes of others.

Cast and Characters

The cast includes Oleksandr Rudynskyi, Vyacheslav Dovzhenko, Anastasia Korol, Slava Babenkov, and Arthur Logai. The story revolves around the group gathered in memory of the fallen soldier, and each former partner brings a different perspective to the conversation. Character names are not specified in the available information, so the focus here stays on the relationships and recollections that connect them.
