A ray of light glides across the grass and, having reached the camera lens, freezes, reflecting on people's faces... Their descendants, straining to look into these faces, will try to see the fateful future turn and foreshadowing of upcoming changes.
Somewhere in a completely different world, a disastrous event is taking place war, political passions are stirring, but here, high in the Tyrolean Alps, life is smooth, filled with for simple moments of joy and everyday cares, carelessness and beauty, which is interrupted by the noise of airplanes flying somewhere in the distance.
