horizontal line

[Currently screening at film festivals across the country.] Haunting songs punctuate Olesya Morgunets-Isaenko's compelling, poignant, multifaceted, well-acted, touching, timely, 122-minute, 2019 film, which was adapted from a popular Ukrainian Christmas folk song "Carol of the Bells" and Ukrainian chant "Shchedryk," in which a disabled Ukrainian entertainer (Andrey Mostrenko) and his piano teaching wife (Yana Koroliova), who are raising their two daughters (Khrystyna Ushytska and Polina Gromova) and two Jewish sisters (Evgeniya Solodovnik and Daryna Haladiuk), from the neighborhood in Stanislaviv, Poland, beginning in 1939 during WWII while trying to stay under the radar of Nazi soldiers as the occupation progresses and later as the Russian soldiers invade.
