We are pleased to announce our new acquisition: Marysia Nikitiuk’s debut film ‘When the trees fall’, an Ukrainian-Polish-French-Macedonian Coproduction, which won the ScripTeast Kieslowski award for the “Best script” in last Cannes edition.
Written and directed by Marysia Nikitiuk, ‘When the trees fall’ is a coming of age drama, that depicts the story of a rebellious little girl, who learns about life watching her teenage cousin’s romance with a young criminal in a godforsaken village in Ukraine. But when he flees after a murder, her cousin is forced to marry someone else, and this little heroine has to understand just how important it is to fight for your dreams.
