Ukrainian ethno-group DakhaBrakha, whose track was played in an advertisement with former football player David Beckham, presented an animated video for the song "Monk".

Filmmaker from New York Sasha Danilenko presented his animated horror, based on the song DakhaBrakha.

The idea of ??creating a “Monk” the director nurtured for almost two years, and implemented it himself in three months using watercolors and hundreds of sketches.

“It is interesting that the folk song“ The Monk ”originated was cheerful and playful.. DakhaBrakha made her serious and anxious. And I decided to enhance this effect by adding dramas and mystics. For me, the main topic was the perception of truth and untruth.. Moral metamorphosis. This is a story not only about a monk, but about any person whose share of excessive demands and moral hopes falls, ”shared Danilenko.

The artist especially emphasizes the important details that run through the whole storyline of “The Monk” as a red thread.. A wreath symbolizing the eternal maiden beauty appears on the head of a charming girl who captured the heart of a monk. Then as a bookmark in his prayer book. The same flowers with a wreath grow on the grave of a girl, as a reminder of recent events.

According to the plot of the animation clip, a young priest comes to the village where he falls in love with a girl.

But instead of a loud wedding, the story ends with the young beauty committing suicide, and the priest turning gray, hugging a wreath of girls. Hoping that the wine will flood the grief, the monk soon reaches the bottom of self-destruction..

Recall the ethno-group DakhaBrakha on the day of independence of Ukraine performed at the NSC "Olіpіysky" before the concert "Ocean Elzy". The musicians performed the program of their most famous compositions, and also played several new songs..
