The Turnip
no dialogue
The storyline is based on a Slavic folktale which has represented the peasants’ point of view for many ages. The film shows this popular story from a different, underground angle – showing what really happened when peasants started cultivating vegetables. It’s also about property, collaboration and betrayal.
