The Peasants

The life of the Boryna family and the beautiful, mysterious Jagna is set against the backdrop of changing seasons and fieldwork. The unique rural microcosm frames a universal and timeless storyof tragic love and life in a small community, where harsh principles dictate each person’s place in the group, and stepping outside the narrow confines carries the risk of humiliation and rejection.
