TRACES OF WAR Scenes of everyday life in a non-existent country
A choir making the cold visible…
Girls climbing the mountain on a foggy morning to go to school…
Boys chopping wood to heat the school…
Tanks and armored troop carriers used as a blackboard…
Young men serve in the Army of a non-existent country.
And…
Young women dance the past and the future of their land which surely exists.
