Pomana

Помана

Overview

Lydia is an inveterate habitant of the Moldavian village, who is incredibly concerned about the opinions of others. When her husband dies, she wants to bury him following all the rules. A kind-hearted neighbor, Clara, reminds her of an old tradition – pomana, gifts in honor of the deceased. Lydia is shocked that she forgot about it so much, that her husband’s death fades into the background. But even though the family tries to reach out to Lydia, she is only concerned about what people will think about her.
