Nina, a strong and independent woman much older than Slavik, takes the stranger into her home. At first, their strange companionship resembles an unlikely love story. But as their relationship unfolds, love turns into betrayal, and the village begins to reveal its hidden rules \u2014 a place where witches may live next door, and the dead sometimes speak with the living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe creator of the film highlights that it unfolds on three interconnected levels. \u201cThe first is the relationship between a man and a woman within a traditional society,\u201d Vorozhbyt explains in a director\u2019s statement. \u201cThe second is socio-political, where this relationship becomes a metaphor for the relationship between Russia and Ukraine. The third is mystical, exploring the connection between the living, the dead, and the otherworld.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=5099\">\u2018The Odyssey\u2019 Makes History as Christopher Nolan\u2019s Top-Grossing Movie Ever, Beating \u2018Dark Knight Rises\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn case you wonder: Nina seems to be the embodiment of post-Soviet Ukraine and the country\u2019s independence.
