The Island
Directed by Natalia Krasilnikova
Mykola Golowan is an old sculptor from the Ukrainian town of Lutsk where he has been building his unique house for over 30 years now. The place has become a tourist's attraction: people come here to take a souvenire photo with the house, and sometimes with the master himself. The film, however, tells about the everyday life of a person who does what he loves, not paying attention to popularity, not seeking acclaim. It is a story about the harmony of solitude.
