Maryjka (1933)

An example of an original Polish pre-war melodrama set in the Hutsul region. In the 1930s, the eastern regions of the multinational Republic of Poland, and in particular the areas located among the picturesque Eastern Carpathians at that time, became the object of interest not only to ethnographers and tourists, but also to artists. Documentaries were made about this region and books were written. In the end, a melodrama was shot, part of which became the customs of the Hutsul village.
