"Thus they will sing" is a movie-collage that interweaves human experiences, soromitski (shaming) songs and the flow of modern life. Soromnitski (shaming) songs are traditional songs (spivankas) with erotic motifs, sung at weddings, vechornytsi (evening parties), and feasts. Although they were quite shameful to sing in everyday life, they were broadcasting the man and woman's behavior patterns. The tradition of creating the spivankas (these songs) still exists. Ostap Bohoslovets from Nadvirna town re-analyses the modern world of youth in his own spivankas

In February 2022, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the apartment my friend and I were renting in Lviv became a transit point. Friends, acquaintances and strangers were leaving for safer cities in Ukraine and abroad, and we began to host people in our apartment. Some stayed for one night, and some for several. No one stayed for long, but they all left their stories. That's how our home became a shared home.
