Contents/Summary

Summary
The village of Osadné lies on the farthest eastern border of the European Union. Local Orthodox priest Peter Soroka has buried 50 people in the past five years and baptized only two children. The village mayor Ladislav Mikuláško is a political record-holder who has been running the village for 36 years. These two unusual local patriots decide to take the future of Osadné into their own hands and, with the help of Ruthenian activist Fedor Vico, seek help from the highest authorities. In his "document-toury movie," Marko Škop follows the protagonists on a journey to the European Parliament in Brussels where he witnesses their efforts to involve a friendly European deputy in strengthening the tourist industry in order to save it from collapse. A touching story of "non-globalized" individuals attempting to make their voices heard.
