Plot

[edit]

The story begins with a flashback about the magical tree called the Source of Life inside the large ancient Forest. This tree nourishes the whole forest and the inhabitants with its power. One day, a human trespassed Dark Mountain and entered the Enchanted Forest. This human was an owner of the sawmill, who begged Lesh, the current guardian of the forest, to give him a drop of water from the Source of Life to save his dying newborn daughter. Lesh gave it to the sawmill’s owner, but then, he returned with an army of humans to take all the power for himself. This led to a fierce battle, which Lesh won, but at a great cost to him and his people. He passes a new law that no humans are allowed in the forest the passage in the Dark Mountain must remain closed off forever.

In the present day, a virtuous nymph named Mavka wakes up from her winter sleep and awakens every living creature in the Forest, along with her noisy friend Hush and her kitty-frog companion Swampy. The forest dwellers all rejoice at the spring.

Meanwhile, in the human village located near the Enchanted Forest, a woman named Kylina introduces herself as the daughter and heiress of the sawmill owner. She proposes a job to the village’s settlers: to go into the Dark Mountain for a huge sum of money, but they refuse due to believing there are forest demons in the woods. A young musician named Lukas needs money to buy medicine for his sick uncle Leo, so he accepts the job. Kylina orders Lukas to find a tree with a special leaf in the Enchanted Forest.

In the Enchanted Forest, Lesh announces that the Supreme Spirits of Nature will choose a new guardian at the Heart of the Forest, as Lesh has become less powerful over time. A water nymph named Ondina criticizes Mavka's abundant kindness and deems her unqualified for the role.

Mavka encounters Lukas and tries to scare him away, but after hearing him play his sopilka, she admires his musical talent. After Lukas explains his intentions, Mavka believes he's not evil so she offers to give him a cure, with Hush reluctantly helping them as Lukas promises he'll leave after. In gratitude for her help, Lukas promises Mavka to play his music for her. After spending time walking through the forest, feelings arise between them.

At midnight, Lesh summons the forest dwellers to the tree with Lukas in disguise. The Spirits choose Mavka as the new Guardian of the forest, which Ondina objects to the choice. Lukas speaks out in Mavka's defense but Ondina sees through his disguise and he gets chased out. Mavka allows Lukas to escape and gives him a drop from the Source of Life tree to cure his uncle, but he doesn't have time to play his music for her as he had promised. Ondina berates her for letting him go and then warns that he will eventually betray her. When Lukas returns, Kylina is not convinced that he came back empty-handed, so she orders her stylist, Frol, to keep an eye on him. Mavka's cure successfully heals Uncle Leo and makes him younger. Frol finds the special leaf from the tree, confirming that Lukas did find it so Kylina prepares for when he goes back to the forest.

The following day, noticing that Lukas had dropped his sopilka during his escape, Mavka disguises herself to look human and goes to the village with Swampy to return the sopilka to Lukas and to try to make peace with the humans. Lukas invites Mavka to come to the village's spring festival and she accepts. At the festival, he gifts her a Vyshyvanka dress as well as a pendant he made with four carved runes symbolizing the elements of nature. After having a good time enjoying the folk dancing, Lukas tries to keep his promise to play his music for Mavka, but when he plays, it accidentally undoes Mavka's disguise and reveals her as a nymph to the village. Seizing the opportunity, Kylina locks Lukas away in the mansion's basement and turns the villagers against Mavka, but Lesh saves her. Lesh tells Mavka the story of what had happened many years before, and how he once used the Spark of Rage, a pyrokinetic power bestowed on him by the Supreme Spirit of Fire, the One Who Sits in the Rock, which allowed him to defeat the sawmill owner's army. But that power came at a price, the price being his immense strength. He tells her the relationship between humans and the forest is a never-ending cycle of fire and death.

Kylina tries to get Lukas to mark the location of the Source of Life tree on her map, but he refuses. When he figures out Kylina captured Mavka he agrees to her demands, only to realize that Frol was disguised as Mavka. Kylina starts drowning Lukas in her basement and then rallies the villagers to raid the forest. Mavka tries to reason with Kylina by telling her the story of her father, the sawmill owner, but Kylina reveals that she is not the sawmill owner's daughter, but is instead his wife and that she made him lie about their "daughter" being ill and also that she was the mastermind behind the first battle years ago due to her selfish desire for immortality and eternal beauty. Kylina then tricks Mavka into thinking Lukas betrayed her by taking advantage of her kindness and selling the Source of Life's location for money. This finally makes her think all humans are evil. A battle starts between the humans and the forest dwellers. Mavka, sad with regret, summons the One Who Sits in the Rock to bestow her with the Spark of Rage, promising to pay the price with her life. The power of the Spark of Rage proves to be too much as she loses her sense of empathy and drives out both the humans and forest dwellers as well. A deadly firestorm descends on the village.

Hush, Swampy, and Dot, Lukas' dog, save Lukas from drowning and together they rush to stop Mavka from decimating the village. Realizing that Mavka can't hear his words, Lukas plays his sopilka, inspiring the villagers and forest dwellers to sing along to wake Mavka from her trance and stop the firestorm. They succeed, but Makva is near death and Lukas cries as he pleads for her to come back. While Mavka's soul lies in the Void, she realizes that Lukas never betrayed her. The One Who Sits in the Rock reaffirms that the Spirits made the right choice in choosing Mavka as the Guardian for she bridged the gap between the humans and the forest dwellers, but since she offered to pay the price with her life she must now remain in the Void for all of eternity. Mavka refuses, saying that her heart is now full and will never die. Impressed by this, the Supreme Spirits return her to life and she awakens. Mavka and Lukas kiss as they reaffirm their love and the villagers and the forest dwellers agree to stop fighting and make peace.

In the post-credits scene, old and wrinkled Kylina finds the Source of Life. Being happy, she dives into the magical water, but in several minutes she turns into a baby.[13]

Creation history

[edit]

Idea

[edit]

The first idea to create the animated film on the basis of "The Forest Song" appeared in 2014. The producer Iryna Kostiuk mentions that Serhiy Sozanovskiy, the co-founder of the "Film.UA Group" company, was one of the people who proposed it.[23]

Development

[edit]

The official brief was written in 2014. Until 2015 there was only the selection process of screenwriters’ applications.[24]

In September 2015 the press service of the “Film.UA Group” company claimed about the beginning of the production of the animated film on the basis of the classic writing “The Forest Song” by Lesia Ukrainka. At the beginning of work the creators were willing to adapt “The Forest Song” to the family animation, make the happy end in it and to raise current topics, such as ecological issues. [25] In 2016, the project came to the stage of the deep development: the work on the script writing started. The producers worked on the storyline and tried to cooperate with different authors. Later, the screenwriter Yaroslav Voitsesheck joined the project team. [23]. In September 2016 this project won the ninth competition by the Ukrainian State Film Agency and received state financing in 24.5 billion UAH.

The first teaser of the project was shown in 2017. In March 2017, the producers of “Film.UA Group” and "Animagrad" took the first international pitching of Mavka: The Forest Song in one of the biggest animation forums in Europe, “Cartoon Movie”. It took place in Bordeux, France, and Ukraine was represented there for the first time. During the traditional survey within the forum, a lot of participants called the Mavka: The Forest Song pitch the best in the scope of 50 projects. The producers collected feedback from the major companies of the animated films market, such as “The Walt Disney Company”, The International Animated Film Association (ASIFA), “Canal+”, “TF1 International”, “Super RTL” and others. In parallel with this event, the script was being written, as well as the appearance and the depiction of Mavka was under the work.[26]

In 2018 the process of creating 2D-animatics started and it lasted until the end of 2019.[26]

"When the script is done, the animatics starts. It is a 2D version of the whole animated film in accordance with the script. Our animatics was appeared to be very long and then the process of its shortening began. In fact, we wrote a new script for one more year. After rewriting of the script and redoing of animatics, you go into the expected timing and only after this the budget evaluations start. When you see that the budget is bigger than it was expected, you begin to simplify scenes. Or, you start looking for financing…" - Iryna Kostiuk in the Business Media Reports interview, April 2021.

Production

[edit]

The research of Mavka’s depiction lasted for a year. After that, there were long authors’ discussions about her actions: magic, clothes, creativity, behaviour style. In the opinion of Christian Koskinin, the art director of the animated film, the development of Mavka’s depiction lasted 3 years, starting from the idea. “To tell that we had a straightforward and step-by-step process within which we can count the terms will be wrong - the evaluation is very abstract”.[27]

In 2020 the project team intended to write the film sound. However, the authors could not do this in the standard process because of the COVID-19 pandemics, - but the process was not stopped. English has become the main language of the project and the original lip sync was also created to the English language.[28] The trial recording of the scoring happened in New York, USA (at the peak of COVID-19 lockdowns). The “3beep” company helped organize the scoring technical aspect: in collaboration with the “Postmodern” studio they created the recording system with remote access. In accordance with Egor Olesov’s words, the sound recording had lasted for several weeks. Despite the trial version of the scoring, a part of voices became final ones and they were not changed.[29] First of all, that is the sound of secondary characters. The choice of actors who dubbed the main characters for both English and Ukrainian versions happened later.[29] Then, the process of the animated film’s production in 3D started.[26]

"When both animatics and basic art are coordinated, different production departments are joined the working process. There are 3D-assets creation, layouts production, look-development, animation, visual effects, simulation, rendering and compositing. And only after that there are music and post-production." - Ehor Olesov in the Media Business Reports interview, April 2021.

Thus, the project was on the stage of working on layouts, animation and collection of the final scenes in 2021. Also, the production of all the 3D-assets were being finalized. [26] In February 2021 there was a release of the second teaser-trailer to the future animated film, where Mavka was presented in a new and updated form. [30] According to Anna Yeliseeva’s words, Mavka’s new design has become “wild, more sylvan” one. Potential viewers mostly criticized such a change. [31] The official trailer in the Ukrainian version scoring appeared in the social media in December, 20, 2021. According to the trailer, the animated film’s premiere would have happened in December, 29, 2022. [32] In general, the scope of people who worked on “Mavka” movie is 400 people. [33]

During the full-scale invasion

[edit]

By the moment of the Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the project was in its final stage of development. Because of the war, a part of animators were on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, some of them joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As well, the marketing action plan for the nearest month lost its relevance in a full scale. [34] However, approximately a week was enough for the production studio for the development process reorganization and the work continued. Despite the hard military conditions, the film creators announced that the project would be finished in accordance with the pre-war plan, in the fourth quarter of 2022. [35]

During the Cannes’ cinema market, the movie was involved in a whole series of different events, among which was Animation Day organized by the “Annecy” festival of animated films. Moreover, there was one more event which took place in Cannes called “Annecy Goes To Cannes 2022”. Mavka: The Forest Song was chosen for the pitching within the event. [34]

The second official and main trailer was presented in February, 1, 2023 by the “Film.UA Group” studio. Mavka’s winter image was shown there together with the soundtrack “Mova Vitru” (”Song of the Wind”) by Khrystyna Soloviy and Artem Pyvovarov played there.[36] According to the trailer, the premiere was planned in March, 2, 2023.
