Synopsis
Spoiler shield

Kyiv, 1929. Shots of the city as it wakes up and its awakening echoes with the lyrical pictures of the rebirth of nature. Kaufman’s attentive camera pauses for a long time on the smiling faces of children, painting a lyrical picture, a confession of love for Kyiv.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
