Home. Native Land (1991)

Overview

The universe of Ukrainian village has always been one of the key topics for Oleksandr Koval. This film is his cinematic testament and, at the same time, a lyrical cinematic confession, which was filmed in his native village of Zherdova near Kyiv, where he was born and where he started his "career in cinema" as a cinema mechanic. This work is particularly illustrative with regard to Koval's tragic view of himself as a person who had to conceal his true self throughout his life.
