“Lessons of Tolerance” – Ukrainian Film Days / Pride edition
Lessons of Tolerance (Ukraine, 2023, EN subtitles) is a provocatively ironic comedy that highlights how stereotypes can ruin wellbeing and trust and, on the contrary, how love and tolerance can rebuild relationships.
The school teacher Nadia (Olena Uzlyuk) persuades her typically intolerant family (Oleksandr Yarema, Oleksandr Piskunov, Karolina Mruha) to join an EU-funded LGBT+ acceptance program. Their task is to spend 24 non-alcoholic days with Vasyl (Akmal Huriezov), who is gay but might also be the best friend, long-forgotten relative, good therapist, attentive social worker, or a plumber photographer. Through amusing games, they will learn about homophobia, equality, empathy, gender discrimination, and self-fulfilment.
Directed by Arkadiy Nepytaliuk.
The movie lasts 94 minutes. The screening will be followed by a 40-min Q&A with Olena Uzlyuk at 6.45pm – 7.30pm.
The movie is K16 and there are English subtitles.
