Anplagd
With the right technology, a leaf from a tree can sound like a full-fledged musical instrument. We learn this in the amusing and beautiful film about a small Serbian village, which throws all its love on what must be the most primitive instrument ever. In true Tarkovsky-style, the film begins with windy treetops in slow motion, life slowly and silently passes in the village and the leafs fall from the trees. Josip and Petar gather to play the leaf and, helped by the excentric Vera, the learn the phonetics of it. An extraordinary and taciturn friendship then grows between these three people.
