The game of the mountains
Dmytro Glykhenkyi / Ukraine / 2008 / 0 min / Colour
Italian premiere
Ivan has lost his horse. He goes looking for it in the farms of the nearby villages, and jokes with his friends: “It would be better if instead of the horse, I found a wife...”. It seems like a joke, yet there is Marychka, recently widowed and ready to begin a new life. Before deciding, Ivan invites her to visit his farm where she must work, because it is this he is looking for, in addition to a companion: a helper for the hard work on the farm. Marychka accepts and moves in with Ivan and with his elderly, blind mother in the little stone house, immersed in the green and wild landscape of the Carpazi, where the rhythm of life is marked by work and the ancestors’ ancient traditions.
