The people of Kharkiv saw death and horror. They looked them straight in the face. Some lost relatives, others lost their homes, their streets, their past, their memories. But Kharkiv residents still have the strength to fight. To gather to read poetry, to discuss writers, to sing lullabies. The main character Roman is a Kharkiv resident, who is madly in love with poetry. And he carries his love for it-sometimes senselessly, rightly, for no reason, like Don Quixote, like a madman, like a real Paper Knight.
The musical MUR. Ty [Romantyka] movie is Ukraine’s original historical musical, offering a fresh perspective on the writers of the past century — not as distant figures from textbooks, but as real, living people. The story unfolds in the legendary Slovo House in Kharkiv, where, in the early 20th century, the Soviet regime brutally persecuted and executed hundreds of Ukrainian cultural elites.
This is a Christmas musical movie with eight old Christmas carols that have been collected during special search expeditions. Combined with electronic sound of Yaroslav Tatarchenko and performed by famous Ukrainian artists these carols have found a new life and for the first time they can be heard by the general public. JAMALA — «Ой грало море в неділю рано» DANTES — «А в полі-полі вишня стояла» WELLBOY — «Із-за гаю зеленого» Tонка — «Ой, добрий вечір, пан-хазяїну» TERY — «А в пана-пана» ЮЮ — «А в нашого хазяїна» Lely45 — «А що звечора» ЩукаРиба — «Ой була, була в батечка дочка». The purpose of this project is to preserve Ukrainian Christmas traditions that have been muddled and belittled by the soviet propaganda for years and years, but also to update them with new sound because Christmas carols are part of our modern lives not some sacred past to be forever hidden in a coffer.
