Divlja polja / The Wild Fields

Synopsis

Film predstavlja Ambasada Ukrajine u Bosni i Hercegovini i Arthaus Trafik.

Herman je primoran da se vrati iz Harkova u svoj rodni grad u Donbasu kako bi preuzeo benzinsku pumpu svog brata na koju je oko bacila prekogranična mafija. Divlja polja koja okružuju pumpu su historijska kapija od istoka prema zapadu – mjesto gdje se različiti interesi uvijek i iznova sukobljavaju. Događaji na staroj benzinskoj pumpi postaju slika suludog života i društvenih odnosa u Ukrajini.

Herman Korolyov, 33, is getting by, working a meaningless executive job in a big city. One day he gets a strange call and learns that his older brother has mysteriously disappeared. Herman must go back to his hometown to defend the family business – a small gas station (and with it, old friends and a girlfriend from the past) – against the ‘kukuruzniks’, mafia-type gangs that are grabbing up businesses and land in the Donbas region and turning them into corn fields and railways that lead nowhere.
