Synopsis: A lyrical poem in an autobiographical vein on the fading peasant culture and the irretrievable past. The director recreates his childhood memories and fantasies of events such as the Balkan Wars, WWI and WWII, and family events including a wedding and death. Beautifully shot, and using non-actors for most of its cast the film remains one of the masterpieces of Bulgarian cinema.
