A day when everything is possible. Ukrainian cinema already has in the collection more than one Christmas film, which can be revisited for the holidays. This, for example, "Hell's Horugvie, or Kozack's Christmas" Mikhail Kostrov - the adaptation of the fairy tale Sashka Lirnyk, and the family comedy Seeds Gorov "The Adventures of S Nikolay"
In 2021, this list is supplemented by 'I.O. St. Nicholas" - a wonderful family musical film Galina Lyshak and Bogdan Kriven.
Without any superspecialties, using the already repeatedly tested techniques (this applies to the story with the plot moves), the tape creates the very unique atmosphere of celebration, miracle and mystery that you expect first of all from any Christmas or New Year's film. And music with songs is always appropriate here.
However, the picture is important not only because it supports or revives the belief that on such days everything and even what you did not hope for is possible, but also because it reminds you that there are relatives and friends who need our love, attention, support and help. Not just for the holidays, by the way.
Of course, the message is not new, but it is never superfluous to recall it in our fussy present, which drags and often does not allow us to look around. As well as that holiday and hope for the best people are always able to create and revive themselves. If you want to.
Interesting musical compositions, to which we owe the composers Andrey Mandyuk and Roland Orbán, as well as the vocal director Liliane Mandyuk, complement a very good acting performance of Daria-Maria Lyshak, Yana Bula, Anastasia Dmiterko, Oleg Prigoda, Orest Kirichuk, the above-mentioned Roland Orbán, and Mandjó, involved in two other areas.
