A fantasy movie is being shot in in Kyiv. It’s called «Polina» and tells the story of a young girl on a magical journey in search of the truth about her missing parents. It is set in different worlds – there is war and there is fantasy.
Behind the cameras
are two award winners. Director of photography, Thierry Arbogast of
international smash hit fame «Lucy» and Olias Barco known for «Kill me please»
which won the Grand Prix at Rome International Film Festival.
«It’s a children’s
movie, but I wanted to put some politics inside. We’re shooting in Ukraine and
we have a war scene inside. Of course I don’t want to scare children too much,
but I talked to Polina and asked her: «What are you afraid of?» And she told me
«I am afraid of war because my country is at war», – said Olias Barco.
The lead role is
played by 11-year-old Ukrainian actress Polina Pechenenko. More than 1,000
girls auditioned for the part in Italy, France and Belgium but Polina was
spotted quite by accident in Kyiv by the director. So 11-year-old heroine
of the film, which embodied the
talented Ukrainian girl Polina Pechenenko, sent a magical journey to
learn the truth about his family.
