Documentary follows Ukrainian singer-songwriter Jamala in the early hours of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and profiles her activism of raising money and awareness for her homeland. Jamala gained international fame in 2016 as the winner of the Eurovision contest where she performed her song, "1944," about the deportation to Central Asia that year of Crimean Tatars - including her great-grandmother's family.
This is a Christmas musical movie with eight old Christmas carols that have been collected during special search expeditions. Combined with electronic sound of Yaroslav Tatarchenko and performed by famous Ukrainian artists these carols have found a new life and for the first time they can be heard by the general public. JAMALA — «Ой грало море в неділю рано» DANTES — «А в полі-полі вишня стояла» WELLBOY — «Із-за гаю зеленого» Tонка — «Ой, добрий вечір, пан-хазяїну» TERY — «А в пана-пана» ЮЮ — «А в нашого хазяїна» Lely45 — «А що звечора» ЩукаРиба — «Ой була, була в батечка дочка». The purpose of this project is to preserve Ukrainian Christmas traditions that have been muddled and belittled by the soviet propaganda for years and years, but also to update them with new sound because Christmas carols are part of our modern lives not some sacred past to be forever hidden in a coffer.
