Pamfir

After several months spent abroad, the colossus Pamfir retums home to his family in Ukraine. His hopes of living an honest existence are dashed when his son’s missteps force him to take up smuggling again and confront the local gangsters.
Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk crafts a story that departs from the sinister ambiance that we’d expect. His Pamfir is as flamboyant as he is endearing. The film, narratively classic, but bold in style, owes its impact to its larger-than-life protagonist. A story of resistance in rural Ukraine, with allegorical overtones.
