Film Synopsis:

Set in the harsh yet beautiful landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the film reveals inner, intangible realms through the patient observation of the natural world. It follows an elderly man living in isolation, weaving together a tapestry of dreamlike visuals as it records the routines of his daily life. Surrounding mountains, a burning stove and animal companions offer solace and warmth.
