Olena Kravets

How much is contained in these two words—irritation, tenderness, laughter, love. And a little shame, when she knows everything about you. Even what you yourself have forgotten. This film is about all mothers and for all of us. About those moments when you say, “Mooom, don’t start”—and she starts. About the calls with the question, “Have you eaten?” when you are in a courtroom or on a date. About superpowers that work even thousands of kilometers away.

Mavka, a Soul of the Forest, faces an impossible choice between love and her duty as Guardian of the Heart of the Forest when she falls for a human, a talented young musician named Lukas.
