Brothers Anton and Tolik reunite at their family home to bury their
recently deceased mother. An otherwise natural ritual unfolds under
extraordinary circumstances: their house is on the front line of a
war ignited by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Isolated without power or running water, the brothers’ best hope
for success and survival lies in the declared cease fire—the
harvest truce. But such hopes are swiftly dashed, as it becomes
apparent that the conflagration of war will not abate. With echoes
of Waiting for Godot, Serhiy Zhadan’s A Harvest Truce stages a
tragicomedy in which the commonplace experiences of death, birth,
and the cycles of life marked by the practices of growing and
harvesting food are rendered futile and farcical in the wake of the
indifferent juggernaut of war.
