Impressions from an expedition by Czech ethnologists in Serbia in May 2007. “Sacrum et profanum” in symbiosis between Christianity and everyday life. Way of life of older people in the disappearing world of traditional culture, for example herding, crafts, and homemade products. Conversations reflecting the method of communication and interpersonal relations in rural society. Recollections capturing “small history”, historical events seen through the
eyes of ordinary people. The Film was produced within the research project Cultural identity and cultural regionalism in the process of shaping European ethnic patterns (reg. number AVOZ90580513, 2005 – 2011) at the Institute of Ethnology at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v.i.
