ABOUT THE MOVIE

A road film about the passage of time and about memory. In the 1970s, young Yugoslav filmmaker Karpo Godina travels with an 8mm camera in his hand across the flatlands of Vojvodina's interior and its sleepy rural areas. Only fragments have remained from his trip. Forty years later, young Slovenian director Matjaž Ivanišin pays a tribute of a sort to the acclaimed director Godina by retracing his steps through small, remote villages, using the rare preserved fragments and talking to the villagers who still remember Godina's visit. Ivanišin's film is divided in five parts, each about the local character of various villages.
