About the film:
In the heart of Eastern Serbia Dragan Markovic, a seasoned miner with a destiny entwined in ancient dragon-hunting traditions, delves into the depths of the unknown. His sister, Desa, is determined to carry on her late husband's fight for the rights of the mine-worker families.
As the echoes of both tradition and modernity reverberate through their lives, the Markovic family endeavours to safeguard their heritage, navigating a delicate balance between the mystical and the industrial. Will they be the last of the dragon hunters, or will they forge a new legacy that transcends the boundaries of magic and industry?
Date & Venue:
