Slovo House

In Slovo House, a seemingly idyllic communist paradise built under Stalin's approval in 1920s Ukraine, chain-smoking intellectuals, artists, poets, and playwrights lived in a prison-like atmosphere, their every move watched and reported by Soviet secret services. Despite its luxurious amenities, the building, shaped like the Cyrillic letter "S," became a symbol of oppression, witnessing suicides, madness, and arrests of its residents during Stalinist repressions. Through the stories of its inhabitants, this documentary reveals the extraordinary tale of a house that was meant to be a haven for creatives but became a prison, sealing their fate.
