Carol of the Bells/Schedryk. Movie Screening.

Foreword and Q&A by the film producer, Artem Kolibev.

The name of the movie is adapted from a popular and loved Ukrainian folk melody. The peaceful and neighborly existence of three families, Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish, sharing a large house, musical evenings, and merriment in the city of Stanislaviv in the years preceding and post-war, is shattered. First in the Soviet occupation and the persecution of the Polish family, then, by the Nazi occupation of Ukraine, and the decimation of the Jewish family. Sacrificing their lives the Ukrainian family manages to save their neighbors' children and their own daughter.
