Golos is a collection of stories told by, and about the people of Ukraine, exploring from a unique perspective the nature of human identity and the region’s history. The Maidan Revolution, where the narrative starts, creates the backdrop of the film as we visit four cities and listen to their inhabitants: old, young and from different educational, ethnic and economic backgrounds. By documenting what people celebrate and what national holidays mean to them, the film provides a context within which people can communicate their hopes, fears and ambitions. These poignant encounters show a common struggle for peace, despite differences of opinion, and the influences and memories that form Ukrainian identity.
