Synopsis
A documentary film about the struggle of good and evil for the face of the border mountains. A sweltering heat is hanging over an empty landscape, leaves are still, cracked rocks are silent as if suffocated by summer heat. In such a silent moment, in the middle of the mountains, anything can happen. The film follows people who have the Krušné Mountains (or Erzgebirge, the Ore Mountains) in their blood; they are connected to them, without making any generalizations about them. They simply “live the mountains” without much intellectual reflection, in a straightforward and almost brutal way as if they were born at the same time as the hills. Through the region of the Sudetenland, their stories tell us more about the idea of home, about individual and collective memory that cannot be easily erased, about pain and suffering that affect people with an indifferent universality, no matter where they live.
