Experiencing Interruptions?

Even Though

A woman immerses herself in nature in place of all those who care to admire its beauty. She dives with the fish and flies with the birds following nature's flow instead of opposing it. Through song and dance she travels through three distinct environments inspired by Croatia's landscape around the mountain Velebit. As she dances, followed by a song created by Lana Ceraj, she proves that even though she is alone, she'll never find herself lonely in nature.
