Zem spieva

Directing: Karol Plicka

Synopsis

A cinematic poem with an impressive soundtrack that complements the final sketches of the folk culture of the Slovak nation. With its perfectly constructed dramaturgy, the work is based on the beauty of the natural cycle from the end of winter to the beginning of autumn, symbolized by the sun and the tradition of grape harvests. The aesthetically exceptional visual representation of folklore is complemented by poetic intertitles by the Slovak poet Ján Smrek. Slovak Film Institute and Slovak institute in Prague are the partners of the section Translucent Being: Karol Plicka.
