All the landscapes i painted from my memory are a reflection of a first one, the primary one. I decided to stop searching inside and went to meet the real one.
I traveled to the Atlas mountains in Morocco, not satisfied with the exotism of the desert until i found the valley, similar to one in slovak mountains Tatras on a first view, but strangely magic on the second one. Everyday i walked up the hill and i met the local people. This changed my
position of tourist.
The valley formed the people and by planting wheat, people have formed the valley. The movie is showing them as a part of an absolut topography of the space. The relation, that grown between us brought another meaning to the work.
