Bouquinistes by Tetiana Hanzha
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Valentin, Georgi, Nadiya and Stas have a special job: for more than 20 years they have been rescuing, repairing and selling old books, giving them a second life. When the Russian invasion begins, they try to protect their treasure from war. However, they can do nothing more than leave the books on the market, where the sound of distant explosions reaches them now and again. The books seem to be waiting for the bouquinistes to return, so that they can begin a new life. After the liberation of northern Ukraine, the first buyers appear, exchanging their stories of despair, persistence, fear and hope for something to read. Life has changed irreversibly. Will people continue to read books or should they be slowly disposed of? Can books bring healing to people?
