Synopsis

A stylized documentary film tracking the changes in the remotest Slovak village at the very edge of the Orava Region at the Slovak-Polish border. The film's subject can be traced through nearly all of Eastern Europe. It could be referred to as "images from the fringes of an integrated continent". The film is a follow-up to a 20-year-old documentary film about a mountain village which, in the course of a single generation, underwent changes that took generations in most regions of former Czechoslovakia. The local ethnic community is very distinct - sometimes even considered to be a separate nationality of the so-called Goral people - and has strong ties not only to Slovakia but also to Poland and the Czech Republic. To a large extent, the gradual decline of specific folklore points to the loss of identity, which is also the main message of this forthcoming documentary film.
