About Prelude to Fate
A case brings together Donetsk Polytechnic Institute student Ivan Krasko, owner of a beautiful strong voice, with former singer Korobeichenko. Contrary to the will of his father, a hereditary miner, the hero refuses graduate school in Moscow and, under the guidance of a new friend, begins to seriously prepare for his first solo performance.
Directed by Serhiy Lysetskyi, Prelude to Fate leans on a strong ensemble — Anatoliy Solovianenko, Stepan Starchikov, Yevgeni Lebedev — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1984.
