Description
Volyn. Limited Edition, 2 DVDs / Wołyń. Edycja limitowana 2 DVD
Synopsis
"Volyn" is a poignant historical drama, an epic story about the events on the eastern borderlands of the Republic during World War II. They were referred to as the "Volhynian massacre". Spring 1939. Young Zosia Głowacka (Michalina Łabacz), who is in love with a Ukrainian boy, learns that her father has decided to marry her off to a rich farmer, an elderly widower with two children - Maciej Skiba. After the outbreak of war, the lives of the villagers are changed by the Soviet and later Nazi occupation. In the summer of 1943, a Ukrainian-Polish conflict erupts; a conflagration of murders and atrocities. Neighbor is pitted against neighbor, previous friendships cease to matter - what matters is survival and revenge. "Volyn" is a visual and shocking history lesson, showing what consequences hatred, nationalism and intolerance can lead to. The subject of the murders committed in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia in the last years of World War II was excluded from the official version of history for decades. Now it is making a comeback, filling a gap in historical knowledge while paying tribute to the victims of the crime.
The two-disc special edition includes the theatrical version and the festival version of the film screened at overseas screenings, along with special extras.
