Ivan: De Volta Para o Passado

Ivan: De Volta Para o Passado

In 1942, Ivan Boyko was expelled from his native village in Ternopil Oblast for forced labor in Germany. In 1948, he emigrated to Brazil and never returned, but remained faithful to the cultural traditions of his country through music. The film documents the return of 91-year-old Ivan to the Motherland after 68 years of separation, where he visits his relatives and his native village. The visual and sound images that arise when reading Ivan's diaries relay his own experience of emigrant everyday life, convey all the bitterness of the formation of a new life in a foreign land. The main role is played by Ivan Boyko himself. The film's Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pg/ivanfilme/about/?ref=page_internal
