A film from the film series Chosen by Time.

The film tells the story of the life and work of Mykola Bazhan (1904-1983), a prominent Ukrainian poet, statesman and public figure of the twentieth century. The film recreates the spirit of the Soviet times, which were extremely cruel to the Ukrainian intelligentsia, and against this background, it portrays a portrait of an ambiguous, multifaceted, extremely talented poet and wise man.

Christmas musical movie. Eight ancient carols were collected during special search expeditions. Now they have found a new breath in combination with the electronic sound of Yaroslav Maiak and sounded to a wide audience with the voices of famous Ukrainian artists for the first time:

• JAMALA — «Ой грало море в неділю рано»
• DANTES — «А в полі-полі вишня стояла»
• WELLBOY — «Із-за гаю зеленого»
• Tonka — «Ой, добрий вечір, пан-хазяїну»
• TERY — «А в пана-пана»
• YUYU — «А в нашого хазяїна»
• Lely45 — «А що звечора»
• ShchukaRyba — «Ой була, була в батечка дочка»

The project aims to keep the Ukrainian traditions of Christmas, which for years were subjected to the propaganda of "sharovarshchyna", as well as modernize them with a cool sound. After all, this is part of our present, not a sacred past hidden in a chest.
