Synopsis
Mavka: The Forest Song (2023) is a Ukrainian animated fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from Lesya Ukrainka's classic verse drama The Forest Song.
Mavka is the soul of an ancient forest and its heir apparent. The villagers nearby keep their distance, certain the woods are cursed — until Mavka falls for Lukas, a young human musician. Then a ruthless businesswoman named Kylina arrives with plans to level the trees for profit, and Mavka is caught between her love and her duty to guard the Heart of the Forest.
Made by the Kyiv studio Animagrad, the film became the highest-grossing Ukrainian animation to date and sold to distributors across dozens of countries. It's bright, song-filled and quietly ecological — folklore that lands for kids and for grown-ups who miss hand-drawn fairy tales. Stream Mavka (2023) online on iFILM.
