Kalyna Malyna 2024 Directed by Pauline Zapolska Калина Малина
This story delves into the theme of sisterhood overcoming distance through shared sadness. Two women, physically apart but emotionally connected, express their melancholy through a traditional Ukrainian song. The animation, inspired by Ukrainian folk art, vividly portrays their struggles. As the ancient melody unfolds, it serves as a universal language, bridging the gap between the characters. The animation transitions between the women's worlds - Ukrainian and Latvian village women, emphasizing the universal nature of human emotions.
