DREI FRAUEN
Germany 2022 – Director: Maksym Melnyk – Original language: German, Ukrainian – Subtitles: English, German, None – Length: 85 min.
A priest who blesses cars; a post office without stamps; a piglet as a gift: everyday scenes in Stuzhytsia in Ukraine. It is a village with a tough climate and tough people – or so it seems at first. As the film crew follows three women, a farmer, postal worker and a biologist, they are taken in by their joie de vivre and humour and soon feel more and more at home. Stephanie Vierkorn
