Focus Years: 2002 | Country: France
Synopsis:
For the summer, Sacha (30 years old) and Rousslana (25) have come to help Krioucha , their father at the datcha in the Black Lands (Ukraine). The father, an unemployed engineer bought a bit of land in a kolkhose not far from Tchernobyl. He has started a new life as a beekeeper and he also grows potatoes and apples on his new land, for his own consumption. In spite of everybody’s hard work, Krioucha’s bees are ill, and crops are meager.... The apparent happiness and the pastoral images bring to mind the atmosphere of the Soviets films of the thirties : Alexander Dovjenko (“The Earthâ€, 1930) and Alexander Medvekine (“Happinessâ€, 1934). Rousslana and Sacha pass on a heart-breaking testimony of their father’s experiences, his problems with crops, and the difficult economic context of their country.
