Bonds

(Short Film)

Set in the times of the ancient Slavs, Bonds follows a family of four navigating the fragile balance between tradition, innocence, and consequence. Young Tamara struggles to accept the reality she has been placed into — what feels like play and defiance to her slowly unravels into emotional distress for the entire family.

The cinematography embraces natural textures, earth tones, and elemental light, grounding the story in a raw, ancestral atmosphere while framing the characters with intimacy and restraint — allowing tension to grow quietly within the family space.
