Is it a dream or reality, the past or the present, the sacred or the profane? Here is one of the most mysterious documentaries of the short film competition. Black and white, whispered by a child, a poetic film that soothes like the best ASMR and at the same time arouses slight anxiety like a good thriller. There is a coffin with an old woman, there are dolls and dark corridors, but there is also the beauty of nature and the sense of a community passing away. The director has managed to create a unique oneiric story about the disappearing world of a small Ruthenian community living in Slovakia, and all this within just a few minutes.
