a| The documentary is about Evhen Khvatov, an eccentric seventy-six year old man who, since his childhood, has been fascinated by graves, tombstones, and monuments. In his adulthood, Khvatov dedicated himself to restoring them and has rescued from oblivion more than a hundred. They include tombstones on graves of his villagers, simple peasants, of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army soldiers (the UPA), Red Army soldiers, Jews, killed by the Nazis, and the German army officers. As he does this he attracts his attention of his villagers and a larger society to issues of collective memory, forgiveness, and historical reconciliation, an agonizingly complex process Ukraine has been undergoing since independence. Without justifying such criminal ideologies as Communism and Nazism, he advocates forgiveness and empathy across ideological, religious, and ethnic divides.
