MUSIC OF BEING / МУЗИКА БУТТЯ

2024 / 70' / documentary / Ukraine

Amidst blooming gardens and village huts, a lonely club echoes with a lively march – the local brass band plays under the lead of Vasyl Antonovych. This amateur ensemble performs at weddings and funerals and now must pass a state exam to keep its folk status. They rehearse passionately, unable to imagine life without music. In wartime, music becomes both meaning and survival, and their story reflects the fate of Ukrainian artists in turbulent times.
