Mister Vorky

High School Jury Best Short Film Award

The theme of this year's festival, "The Color of Crisis," invites us to recognize various forms of crisis through film: existential, social, and those concerning human connection, economic, political, etc. Anyway, we chose the film "The Small House" because, in our opinion, it fits the description of the theme. The film follows Tatyana, a manicurist who lives on the second floor of her parents' house, just like most people in her village. When she visits a friend who has just built her dream house, Tatyana realizes it is time to create her own home and life, so she takes a 'small house'.
