Description

Matyora – an island with a village of the same name that has been there for 300 years – is to be flooded. It is extremely painful to the villagers to leave their homes, especially for Darya, “the oldest of the old women”.

Based on the novella “Farewell to Matyora” by Valentin Rasputin.
  “Farewell to Matyora” was conceived by Larissa Shepitko (“Heat”, “Wings”, “Ascent”) as a film in which Life was to win, as a symbol and as a result. The tragedy happened on July 2, 1979 at the 137th kilometer of Leningradsky Highway. On their way to location shooting, the film director Larissa Shepitko, the cinematographer Vladimir Chukhnov, the production designer Yuri Fomenko and their assistants died in an automobile accident. The film about a village Atlantis had been finished by Shepitko’s husband, Elem Klimov (“Agony”, “Welcome or No Trespassing”). He made it in Shepitko’s style and named it simply “Farewell”.
