Ukrainian documentarist Roman Bondarchuk’s debut fiction feature stretches the limits of reality towards fantasy. Volcano is set in Kherson, a remote village in the steppes by the Crimean border where people laugh because they have nothing else to do. A series of odd coincidences has left Lukas, an interpreter for OSCE, stranded. With nowhere to turn, this city boy finds shelter at the home of a colourful local named Vova. In time, Vova gets used to Vova this village’s universe beyond his imagination, falls in love with Vova’s daughter Marushka, and even his contempt for provincial life slowly melts away.
