Description:

A house surrounded by a garden, inside are corridors, rooms, and their occupants - patients at a psychiatric hospital. They warm themselves in the sun, we hear music, snatches of songs, a lullaby… They are like trees in the wind, a painful reminiscence of mothers, women and children… A film about childhood that never returns, about dreams that can’t come true, and about madness as a kind of happiness. The first Ukrainian short chosen for the Official Selection at the Cannes festival, winner of the Palme d’Or.

Director(-s): Igor Strembitskyy

Born in 1973 in a village Paryshche, Ukraine. In 1994 graduated from Chernivtsi industrial college. From 1998 to 2003 studied documentary filmmaking in Kiev. He won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in the short film competition for "Wayfarers" (2005).
