Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 8 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In a Hutsul village in the Soviet-occupied Carpathians, a mute orphan girl who cannot bear the sight of sweets is haunted by visions of the night her family was destroyed. A proof-of-concept short by Alexander Denysenko based on the novel by Maria Matios.
