The bittersweet life of two grannies living isolated on the hills of Eastern Bosnia. Nature is the entity with which grannies speak, listen to and respect. The film reflects the simplicity and purity of their way of life, as well as their painstaking daily work. It emphasizes the intangible cultural heritage, through the presentation of chants and rituals for taming the adverse weather, hail, and storm.
