Overview

In creating the film, Evald Schorm and Jan Špáta took full advantage of the possibilities offered by the Cinemascope format and created a visual poem about the beauty and fate of trees and the simple life of people in the mountains. Dynamically slow, artistic shots of majestic nature alternate with civil documentary, yet lyrical details of human work. The film emphasizes the work and social changes in the lives of lumberjacks, but on a broader scale, it also reflects on the passage of time, the eternal values of nature and man, and his relationship to work and the collective. All this in a seemingly simple, very restrained in commentary, but all the more effective documentary story. This poeticized image of human labor was created as a commissioned film for the Ministry of Economy.
