Gora

May 2017 •Serbian

Gorani people live in Gora, in the south of Kosovo. They are Muslims who speak a Slavic language.

This is the first film that deals with the way these people are, not who they are or who they belong to. The film observes their everyday life, diverse culture, rich herds of cows, sheep and shepherd dogs. They work, talk, dance, play music, discuss, preach, pray, walk and sing as the mountains above remind them how ephemeral their existence is.
