The film “Kobzar Workshop” (2018), directed by Victor Priduválov, was created as part of the “Watch Ukrainian!” project and is included in the “On Our Land” film anthology.
The story follows the members of the Kobzar Workshop as they venture into the forest in search of the perfect wood for crafting an authentic kobza. The film meticulously portrays every step of creating this traditional Ukrainian musical instrument – from selecting the wood to intricate carving. One of the central characters is a girl named Nastunya, who lost her voice after her mother passed away and has since only hummed her songs. Once the kobza is finally completed, the craftsmen set out for a concert dedicated to ATO soldiers. During the performance, a miracle happens – Nastunya regains her voice.
