Bread is baked daily, farmers tend their land and age-old traditions are adhered to. But a few decades ago the situation was completely different. Catholics were harassed by their Orthodox neighbours and persecuted as enemies of the state. The region was marred by bloody conflict. This week's beautifully filmed documentary traces how friendship came to replace enmity. We follow the villagers over the course of a single day as they reveal how they came to reject violence. Winner of the Best European film at the Leipzig Festival.
