Children who were deprived of their parents by the punitive regimes of the USSR and the Third Reich found themselves on the verge of a clash of empires, at the dead end of occupation and the trap of the Second World War.
Immortalised as one of the most scintillating and uplifting Christmas songs, 'Carol of the Bells' adapted from a popular and loved Ukrainian folk melody, came to represent the spirit of brotherhood and unity all over the world. The peaceful and neighbourly existence of three families, Polish, Ukrainian and Jewish, sharing a large house, musical evenings and merriment in the city of Stanislaviv in the years preceding and post war, is shattered. First in the Soviet occupation and the persecution of the Polish family, then, by the Nazi occupation of Ukraine, and the decimation of the Jewish family. Sacrificing their lives the Ukrainian family manage to save their neighbours' children and their own daughter. Death and loss come to these families, but the healing power and joy, and a promise that the Future Will Not be Cancelled which "Carol of the Bells' evokes will be everlasting.

Trailer:


This is an Ukrainian movie and it was made in war time, so the Russians come off very badly in this film. But it's a movie for FLM, because you see the little girls all the time.

BTW: I knew this song before. I had no idea, that it's from the Ukraine. :shock:
