The film tells about a love story worthy of the Decembrists. The story of a young Ukrainian writer-satirist Pavel Mikhailovich Gubenko and actress Varvara Alekseevna Maslyuchenko.

In 1933, the famous writer-feuilletonist Ostap Vishnya, like many people of his time, was arrested on false charges and sentenced to 10 years in camps. Ostap's wife, Varvara, writes to Maxim Gorky's wife and seeks the right to live next to her husband. The first year of life near the camp on the Kola Peninsula, the couple lives from date to date, but then the Cherry is transferred to another place, where even correspondence is prohibited. Judging by the film, five years pass like this. Varvara and her daughter are evicted from Arkhangelsk, and they move to the Ryazan region.

Ostap wanders around the camps, more than once finding himself on the verge of life and death, but he meets wonderful people. It was at this time that he writes in his diaries: "If I had not met wonderful people, wonderful doctors, I would not have been in the world."

In 1955 Ostap Vishnu was rehabilitated, and in 1956 he died in Kiev of a heart attack.

The film includes unique documentary footage of the farewell of Kiev residents with their favorite writer.

Based on the Ukrainian folk tale Kotyhoroshko.

The insidious old wizard and his cat lived in an abandoned dirty house and often went hungry, because they did not like to clean or cook. One day they came up with the idea of imprisoning a hard-working girl from the village, Olenka. And so it was done. After a portion of threats to use magic, she agreed to do all the housework. But the magic pea found in the garden gave her hope for salvation.

For Ian Golovin, the death of his father is the chance at a new life outside his native country. As he prepares to leave and bid farewell to his sister, he is forced to face his decision-why he is always blindly moving forward and what he is leaving behind.

The film is part of the almanac of Ukrainian short films Ukrainian New Wave. Reboot.

Based on Lina Kostenko’s poem.

In the austere world of the Neighbor, there is no more place for a little girl, who makes living things from the fallen leaves. He once gave in to their temptation and now his children are obsessed with forbidden fantasies from the forest. So he dares to kill the most beautiful things in this life.
