Straddling several genres with aplomb - only the odd wobble. Fusing magical realism and straight drama, WHEN THE TREES FALL is an exploration of life within post-Soviet Ukraine that explodes in bravura sequences which suggest a much richer inner life for the trapped characters. Nature is an uncontrollable force of power and beauty, reflected in our young leads and denied by the rest of the village.

Earthy, enigmatic, erotically charged and violently bleak, Ukrainian writer-director Marysia Nikitiuk’s impressive feature debut begins like a dystopian fairytale in some godforsaken village that time forgot. Lusty young Larysa writhes naked in a foggy swamp with her ex-jailbird boyfriend Scar, while her curious pipsqueak cousin Vitka sits nervously in the dark forest nearby.
