Starting from December 13, the Ukrainian-Polish film 'Shchedryk' will be available on the Netflix platform
The film depicts events unfolding from 1938 in Ivano-Frankivsk, then known as Stanislaviv. One empire displaces another, ruling regimes are in conflict, and the world around is rapidly changing. In one neighboring house, several families of different nationalities lived – Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, and Jews. Turbulent events left no chance for a happy and peaceful life for any of the adults. Thanks to the singing teacher Sophia, the children at least had a chance to feel safe for a while. Together, they sang, forgetting the dreadful present and dreaming of a happy future.
The film is produced by the company 'Ama Vishn' in collaboration with Stewopol, with financial support from the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine and informational support from the State Agency of Ukraine for Movie Affairs.
