Polesia Chronicle

A slow, earnest historical drama that immerses you in a harsh rural world of quiet struggle and communal resolve.

However, the wealthy landowners of the village of Kureny had no intention of giving their land to the communists. The kulaks intimidated the people. But the peasants themselves took the first step: the entire village set out to build a causeway across the marsh to a new life.
