Widescreen. Zacharovannaya Desna is a kaleidoscopic fairy tale complete with blazing colors, talking horses, biblical floods, and fields of impossibly yellow sunflowers — among other fantasies. Returning home from war (depicted only briefly in typical Solntseva style, with towering crane shots and fires sizzling in such brilliant reds that the screen itself looks like its smoldering), Alexander recalls in voice-over his idyllic youth in rural Ukraine. "Why was I born into this world?" he muses, a question that looms larger if he is considered a stand-in for the Ukrainian people themselves.
