Villagers carry out a brutal vigilante trial against Hanna—they believe she is a witch and blame her for all their misfortunes. A young priest saves the woman from being killed and takes her into his home. With Hanna’s arrival, sinister events begin to unfold around the church, and the “witch” is not the only apparition to haunt the village in those days.

To Dream and to Live poster
7.0

The script about loneliness, conformity and the impossibility of creative realization scared the editorial censorship at the studio, and then at Derzhkino. A lot of claims were made against him. The demands for amendments and endless additions and rewrites by the authors lasted for about a year. The original version of the title "Na pokhony!" ("To bow down!") was replaced by "To Dream and to Live". According to Pylyp Ilyenko, the director's eldest son, this name appeared "as a result of censor pressure." Censorship stopped the tape 40 times: at the stage of the literary script, director's, during film tests (the actors were not approved), filming, etc. The film catastrophically fell apart into fragments, into masterfully filmed, but unrelated scenes. The director called the finished version a "dead film".
