The Shepherd's path

Documentary | 2021 | Col & B/W | 53m

Summary

Magic formulas, the magical and ceremonial rituals used to help protect the flock and shepherds from disease, evil forces and natural disasters. We were lucky to have experienced the outgoing generation of farmers who gradually disappeared from our homeland. They took with them forever the knowledge and habits that had been formed over the years in the sweat of hard work. So we decided to return to the present day at least a part of the world of our ancestors. Join us on a shepherd's journey through Slovakia - a country set in the heart of Europe. Our guides will be people who have dedicated their lives not only to sheep breeding, but also to the preservation of habits associated with life in Slovak sheep huts, but mainly they lived their lives in harmony with nature.
