Vulkan
Volcano
Nach einer Reihe seltsamer Zufälle strandet der Übersetzer Lukas während einer OSZE-Mission irgendwo in der südukrainischen Steppe. Ohne Ahnung, wo er hinsoll, findet er schließlich Zuflucht bei einem schrägen Einheimischen namens Vova. Sein Gastgeber konfrontiert Lukas mit einem anarchistischen Universum jenseits seiner Vorstellungskraft, wo das Leben völlig losgelöst von jeder erkennbaren Struktur erscheint. Fasziniert von Vova und dessen Tochter Marushka schmilzt Lukas' Abneigung gegen das provinzielle Leben dahin und er begibt sich auf die Suche nach einem Glück, von dem er gar nicht wusste, dass es existiert.

One day Lukas, employed as an interpreter for an OSCE mission, becomes lost in the middle of the steppe in southern Ukraine. He ends up in a sleepy little town where he finds shelter with idiosyncratic local Vova and his daughter Marushka. His journey towards happiness will be flanked by a series of strange encounters and bizarre situations… As with his documentary @Ukrainian Sheriffs@, Roman Bondarchuk chose a tragicomic tone for his feature debut, and vividly portrays the colorful world of southern Ukraine, which bears unmistakable traces of the distant and not-too-distant past. (Lenka Tyrpáková, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
