“This film is like perfume. First appears the head note which leads to the heart note and finally lets the base note emerge” – Anna Stadnik, Programmer of Two Riversides Film Festival “A tender observation of a couple of charcoal burner’s daily life, like a fairytale from a lost world – but without the happy end of wealth and happiness.” – DOK Leipzig Programmer “Every summer, Marek and Janina work as charcoal burners in the Bieszczady Mountains. Far from civilization, in the heart of the mountains, they live according to the rhythm set by nature. The documentary joins the man and the woman from dawn till dusk, observing the slow passage of time. A visual anthem to the beauty of life.” – Parnu Film Festival Programmer
