A relatively unique movie, I have never seen one from Macedonia before, and the photography and music are all distinctive. Theme: Time is immortal, the circle is endless. In the region known as the "Balkan Powder Keg", ethnic hatred and racial killings have endured for a long time, and they are fundamentally determined by the narrowness of national thinking, which is dominated by the thinking of "tit for tat". The structure of the film is the most distinctive and the theme of the buckle, and the ending is subtly connected to the beginning, that is, a circle is formed, and this fate goes back and forth. There are still many details worth savoring, such as the masculinity of girls and the femininity of male protagonists, blurring gender characteristics; Orthodox monasteries and old priests, alluding to the inability of traditional churches to lead modern times; the British heroine in the second paragraph is also quite suggestive, maybe It refers to the Western democratic society. While still in love with her British husband, she had a quarrel with a Macedonian photographer. A restaurant shooting shattered everything; when the Macedonian photographer returned to his hometown with a democratic and generous mind, he was eventually killed by his brother. Killing, not motivated enough, that's how this place is, and the girl kills the farmer, and then the girl is killed by her brother; with the blood, the baby lamb is born, and so on. Still a maiden work!
