Sergej Bukovskij's retrospective

The Roof

The 16th century monastery in Volynia houses a nursing home for old people, though one can also find there the spiritually crippled inmates and ex-convicts – all of them nestle under one roof. Filmmakers simply observe and record the slow passing of everyday life, and a metaphor of socialist values is being born in front of our eyes.
