SEE ON SEE PAEV - THIS IS THE DAY

Kosovo 2011. The Serbian monastery Velika Hoča. Without comment and employing a series of long takes the camera follows the everyday life of the monks, including Father Miron from “NARROW IS THE GATE” (2002, Cottbus 2012). Hidden behind the plain beauty of the religious rituals and everyday, worldly tasks however are the traumata of war. In this spirit the director says of her work: “The film could also be called ‘After the War’. ... - a time when reconciliation is needed, but feelings are too raw for that reconciliation to be achieved. … The shadows of the war are inside the people who need reconciliation.”
