Wiki.

A Spring for the Thirsty (Ukrainian: Криниця для спраглих, romanized: Krynytsya dlya sprahlikh; Russian: Родник для жаждущих, romanized: Rodnik dlya zhazhdushchikh), sometimes translated into English as A Well for the Thirsty, is a Soviet surrealist film completed in 1965 but not released until 1987. The Dovzhenko Film Studios production was the directorial debut for Yuri Ilyenko, from a script written by Ivan Drach. Due to censorship from the Communist Party of Ukraine, the premiere of the film was delayed for 22 years until the implementation of perestroika. A Spring for the Thirsty has been called among the most significant early films of the Ukrainian poetic cinema movement, and in 2021 it was named the 21st best Ukrainian film ever by the National Oleksandr Dovzhenko Film Centre.
