Film that successfully combines the two worlds. The myth is interwoven with reality, and become the Reality. Through the tradition of the people Kadijević awakens the primordial fear, largely forgotten by modern man. Fairytale is the medium for this particular fear, not stereotypes. It is a pity there are not more artists as Kadijević, dealing with horror in a way that is not shallow and formulaic.Very original work.
