synopsis

Besides possessing environmental appeal, this poetic depiction of the exploration of the Podillya cave system in the Termopil region holds a privileged position among the films from the Studio of Popular Science Films for its captivating storytelling, rhythmic assembly and distinctive visuals.

biography

Director, screenwriter and cinematographer Volodymyr Khmelnitsky (b. 1953) worked in Kiev's Studio of Popular Science Films. He concluded his long-term exploration of the relationship between man and nature - e.g. in the documentary series People and Dolphins (1983) - by unusually adapting the absurd short story by Georgie Vladimir, Faithful Ruslan (1992 ).
