The Northern Rhapsody

Maya Derenkovska is a young Ukrainian photographer. After being raped, she addresses herself to the police to report her offender, but soon realizes that none wants to be bothered with such a "trivial", domestic incident, while the country is in a state of war. Maya is a freelancer in charge of a reportage regarding "magic places" in Kyiv for a local anthropological magazine. These urban hills are desolate wastelands, where the only legacy of the ancient stories is the popular memory. But Maya has the gift to evoke the legends of the past with her imagination and to make them live again. While working on her reportage, she finds out that she is pregnant. The harsh reality and her vivid imagination intertwine, as Maya has to face the decision whether keep her baby or not.
