Kalyna Malyna (2024)

This story delves into the theme of sisterhood overcoming distance through shared sadness. Two women, physically apart but emotionally connected, express their melancholy through a traditional Ukrainian song. The animation, inspired by Ukrainian folk art, vividly portrays their struggles. As the ancient melody unfolds, it serves as a universal language, bridging the gap between the characters. The animation transitions between the women's worlds - Ukrainian and Latvian village women, emphasizing the universal nature of human emotions.
