Introduction
The story of two fathers that cross over in chaotic Eastern Europe. In search of their son and daughter, their journeys meet as they encounter the legend of a 200 year old church. At the end of their travel is a breathtaking final scene―irreplaceable in any other representation but image, so sublime.
Synopsis
Two fathers, a Romanian searching for his daughter who was forced into prostitution in Kosovo, and a Serbian seeking the body of his son killed in a car accident in Romania, meet on the river Danube. A boatman recounts the 200 year-old legend of Romanian peasants struggling unsuccessfully to move an old wooden church up the hill to their village at a time when building Orthodox churches was prohibited.
