Stanislaviv, Poland, 1939. This life-affirming drama centers on three families—Polish, Ukrainian and Jewish–who share a house together...becoming close friends through their love of music. When WWII starts, they face the assault of both the Nazi and Soviet occupations. Released during Russia’s war in Ukraine, Olesya Morgunets-Isaenko’s powerful film is a reflection on the resilience of the human spirit and a testament to the power of friendship.
