The Ukrainian film "Shchedryk" will surprise Rome: a story about survival and dignity

On September 23, the long-awaited presentation of the Ukrainian film "Shchedrik", created by the talented producer Artem Kolyubaev, will take place in Rome. This event will become a real cultural phenomenon, because with the support of the embassies of Poland and Ukraine to the Holy See and the Order of Malta, the tape will receive a new life and international recognition.

A touching story

The film "Shchedryk" transports the viewer to the difficult times of the Second World War, telling about the fate of Ukrainians under the occupation of the German and Soviet authorities. Through the prism of the main characters' life stories, the tape explores the theme of survival, preservation of human dignity and cultural identity in conditions of repression and terror. It is important to emphasize that for many Ukrainians there was no significant difference between the German and Soviet occupiers — both regimes brought death and destruction.

"History shows that there was no significant difference between these two regimes, and Ukrainians in both cases suffered brutal repression. This is an important part of our history, which we strive to convey to the modern audience, " says producer Artem Kolyubaev.

A symbol of hope and steadfastness

The name of the film is symbolic — "Schedryk" is not only a musical accompaniment, but also a symbol of hope, steadfastness of spirit and national identity. The main characters try to preserve these values ​​despite all the trials. The film collected almost 11 million hryvnias despite the constant bombing of Ukraine by Russia and turning off the lights.

Global recognition

The tape "Schedryk" received wide support and recognition all over the world. This is one of the few Ukrainian films that was released in Japan and was shown in almost all US states. At the event in Rome, after the screening, a reception will be held, the entrance to which will be free for everyone.

"Schedryk is not a fiction, it is a collective image of the events that took place... it is a very painful film and every time you find something new and experience these emotions in a new way, " Kolyubaev adds.

Conclusion

The screening of the film "Shchedryk" in Rome will be an important event that will help emphasize the complex history of Ukrainians and their indomitable spirit. The tape will not only remind of brutal repression, but also of the indomitable power of human dignity and national identity.
