Synopsis: Kupala Night is celebrated throughout Eastern Europe, and it's a ritual that dates back to the dawn of time, to thank the pagan deities for the Summer beginning, the fertility and Beauty of Youth. Its magical character is conveyed by these images taken through the last ten years, which take us with their enchantment into an initiation rite, a collective baptism to discover the places of origins in a family album.
