The Secret (2001)

Each member of the Dobrovich family, American of Ukrainian origin, is the guardian of a secret. To live in a state of secrecy 24 hours a day is driving them out of their minds. The matriarch, a widow, conceals the obscure story of a death from her children. She believes that desertion by her own family is predestined. The oldest daughter, Katya, is weary of playing the part of a good Ukrainian little girl, has quit her job in the Ukrainian company and ended her romance with her Ukrainian boyfriend - She does not know, however, what to do with her freedom and is under the impression she has set herself a trap. Lesia, the middle daughter, is about to give birth, but since she does not have a distinct image of what it is to be a mother, she secretly harbors the fear she will not know how to act. Young Mykola, who grew up without a father, tries to guess what life will be like when she is mature. Finally, Grandfather Dobrovich is beset with guilt over the past when an opportunity arose for him to fight in the Ukrainian war and he accepted, but at the cost of a tragedy that is beyond confession.
