Synopsys
Happy days are over for a hard working family of Petro,
Marichka and their two small sons, who live in the bucolic
Carpathian Mountains in harmony with themselves and
the nature. Suddenly small vicious creatures Zlydni
(poverty) move into their once joyous household and
reduce to ruin their hard-earned wealth, destroy their
livestock. Zlydni are generated by the all-consuming
envy and hatred of Petro and Marichka's nameless and
yet all too recognizable neighbors. Ukrainian humor
and folklore permeate this beautifully executed plasticine
animation, based on a Hutsul fairy tale. It is a parable
of the challenges that besiege Ukraine today and an
expression of faith it its future. |

About the film director
Synopsis
The film is about a more than a century-old enclave
of Ukrainians in Brazil, and about how these simple
Brazilian farmers have managed to preserve their Ukrainian
language, religion and a very special sense of identity
rooted in the past that is for ever gone. The film was
shot in the Ukrainian colonies of Barra Vermelha, Barra
Bonita, Linia Parana, Campanella, Consunpol, Casverinha,
and Nova Halychyna - all in the State of Parana, Brazil.
