THE ISLAND
POLISH TITLE: WYSPA
Mykola Golowan, over seventy-year-old sculptor from the Ukrainian city of Lutsk, has been creating his exceptional home-studio for more than thirty years. The building erected in the Old Town has become one of the most important tourist landmarks in the city. Natalia Krasilnikova’s film shows the daily life of the artist focusing on his work routine. It is a short treatise on searching one’s own place and harmony.
