The Landscape of Human Essence

The story of eighty-year-old Ljubica, who has spent her entire life in a remote village in the Macedonian mountains, surrounded by wild nature. Despite solitude, harsh conditions, and the threat of wolves, she remains faithful to the land of her ancestors, where she finds calm, strength, and inner freedom in everyday rituals.
