About the film

The story takes place in summer 2015, when four friends and a small film crew go on a journey to explore the Carpathian Mountains region.

«Dust, rain, lack of sleep and exhaustion were just a small part of everything we have experienced during our journey. However, the emotions which I have personally experienced and continue to feel while working on film have inspired and motivated me through all the process of creating this movie. I am sure that every person who lives in Ukraine and other countries around the world should know what an amazing country we live in»
