Synopsis

The East Slovak region of Saris lies on the border between Western and Eastern Europe, between the rational individualism of the West and the expressive emotionality of the East. The territory below the East Carpathian mountains developed from a colourful national and religious blend which ultimately gave rise to one of the "little Babels" of this world. The documentary follows the so-called globalizing process and its effect on the individual stories and lives of the inhabitants of Saris, portraying six differing individuals who represent their own communities--the Saris inhabitants, the Ruthenians, Romanies and Jews. Examines the various ways in which uniqueness is gradually disappearing from different communities in all their traditional diversity.
