In a Carpathian mountain village, a mother cooks for her five children on a wood-burning stove while their dad repairs the roof of the family home.
Svitlana and Dmytro are raising five children in Samakova, in the Carpathians. On this summer day, Dmytro works on the metal roof and carries firewood while Svitlana prepares two hearty dishes for the whole family.
She cooks a thick soup with smoked pork ribs, potatoes and grain, then makes traditional pork rolls — kruchenyky — filled with buckwheat, dried mushrooms, fried onions and cracklings. Between the work, the children have a water-gun fight with Dad, draw, explore the meadow and enjoy a simple summer day together. In the evening, all seven gather around the table.
No voiceover — only the river, children’s laughter, the crackling fire, sizzling food and the real rhythm of family life in a Carpathian village.
Which moment from this family’s day stayed with you the most?
Oooo!
Jeeee!
Hey!

Later, there were no squares, nor any places where one might find them.

The horse gallops, the rider leaps onto the back.
Hey!
I don't know how to get close to victory.

Yes, in any case, everything would be a victory.
