The Ukrainian family fantasy “Khreshchatyk 48/2” / “Office of Magical Powers” (original in Ukrainian – “Офіс магічних сил”) is coming to audiences in Israel not just as a film screening, but as a children’s festival of magic, adventures, and Kyiv mysteries. In June, the film will be shown in Tel Aviv and Haifa, and before the screenings, guests will enjoy an entertainment program.
This event is aimed at families with children, the Ukrainian community in Israel, repatriates from Ukraine, and everyone who wants to introduce their child to modern Ukrainian cinema — lively, adventurous, magical, and connected with Kyiv.
At the center of the story is a city known to adults, and another Kyiv that only children can see.
What will be shown in Israel
The film “Khreshchatyk 48/2” is a Ukrainian family fantasy comedy of 2026. It is also presented under the title “Офіс магічних сил”.
According to the plot, 11-year-olds Yurko and Mia accidentally find a mysterious entrance to the Otherworldly Kyiv — a parallel world existing since 482. This is not the Kyiv you can see in tourist guides. It’s a hidden reality beneath the modern metropolis, accessible only to children.
What follows is a story with humor, mystical creatures, Ukrainian mythology, and real adventures. Funny magical characters come to life in the center of the modern city, and the main characters find themselves in a whirlwind of events where children’s curiosity can change a lot.
The film’s formula is understandable to both children and adults: there is a door that the elders cannot see; there is a city not described in ordinary descriptions; and there are children capable of going where the adult world has long forgotten to look.

Why this screening is important for the Ukrainian community in Israel
For repatriates from Ukraine, the Ukrainian community in Israel, and families who found themselves far from their usual cultural environment after 2022, such events are significant not only as children’s entertainment.
It’s a way to maintain a connection with the language, cities, images, and tales that make up a child’s memory. Especially when it comes to Kyiv — a city shown in the film not only as a capital but as a space of legends, mythology, power, and imagination.
Against the backdrop of war, separation, relocations, and constant news, it’s important for children to see Ukraine not only through a lens of anxiety. They need a Ukraine of adventures, humor, magic, heroes, and a living future.
That’s why such screenings become part of the cultural life of Ukrainians in Israel. NANovosti — Israel News | Nikk.Agency considers this event an important listing for the family audience: here, Ukrainian cinema, Israeli cities, children, language, and a shared need for normal joy come together.
