Synopsis
Ivan, a Ruthenian mountain farmer, has many talents. On the one hand, he plays several musical instruments, even though his greatest passion doubtlessly pertains to his violins. On the other hand, he is able to build jew‘s harps virtually out of nothing. But most probably he himself is not aware of his most outstanding talent: He is witty and extremely entertaining – a real cinematic discovery! So the film literally starts close-up to Ivan, who delivers a brilliant and strangely funny performance in his hidden mountain village of Obcina.
