Last Village of Lepers - Ballad About The World’s End

This is a story about the last village of lepers in Europe. About the place which was called - Valley of Death and was deleted by Ceausescu regime out of world maps on decades. Only 19 lepers stay alive in this village today. From year by year their number continues of decrease. When the last one will die village will disappear out of maps again. This time - forever. “Ballad About The World’s End” is a tale about the world which goes away, and about people who are going away together with it. Over decades they lived in silence, because their voice was taken by communism, but that's why their testimony is worth listening right now. Last moment before – they will become only a note on a piece of encyclopedias and travel guides.
