DREVO made its debut in a Ukrainian romantic comedy: where to watch the film

On January 8, the romantic comedy “Trial Period”, starring Kateryna Kuznetsova and Kyrylo Parastayev, was released nationwide.

A galaxy of famous Ukrainian actors awaits viewers on the big screen: Vyacheslav Dovzhenko, Andriy Isaienko, Irma Vitovska, Olena Uzlyuk, Tetiana Malkova, Ivan Sharan, Marichka Khomenko, Taras Tsymbaliuk, Daria Petrozytska, Dmytro Tankovych, Ksenia Mishina, Viktor Zhdanov, and even Pavlo Zibrov. The film is now available for viewing in cinemas throughout Ukraine — tickets can be purchased at this link.

The star-studded cast of the film is complemented by the band DREVO, whose music is featured in the film with two hit songs — “Smarahdove Nebo (Emerald Sky)”, which became the official soundtrack of the film, and “De Bi De Bi (Where Would be)”, a composition that was included in the film’s soundtrack. Together, they reinforce the theme of inner strength and choice, as the romantic comedy follows a search for trust and new beginnings while revealing the main characters from an unexpected angle.

However, viewers will not only hear the band but also see them: DREVO appears on-screen in the film as the characters face unexpected events that could radically change their relationship. And this Saturday, January 10, at 5:00 p.m., at the Miromax cinema in the Aladdin shopping center, there will be a special screening of the film with the band in attendance. Viewers will have the opportunity to take a photo with their favorite performers and attend an autograph session.

Tickets are already on sale — don't miss your chance to choose the best seats and experience warmth, humor, and love on a gray January day.

Also, in the Official Soundtrack Music Video for “Smaragdove Nebo”, you can see exclusive footage from the film, shot in a panoramic location in Kyiv.

We remind you that Trial Period is a romantic comedy about an unplanned career and feelings that cannot be predicted. It is about those who broke down but did not give up. And about the fact that sometimes the main test is the ability to trust again.

The main character, Polina (Kateryna Kuznetsova), a glamorous daughter of a businessman (Oleksandr Kobzar), is used to a carefree life. After her father's betrayal, she finds herself on a trial run at an advertising agency, competing with Roman (Kyrylo Parastayev), an ambitious, principled colleague with a very different worldview.
