Trenutek reke

Slovenian. Directed by Anja Medved & Nadja Velušček.

The Soča has always been a border river. In its relatively short course, it connects two completely different landscapes, the Alps and the Mediterranean. And it really seems as if it consists of two personalities. It also has two names. Soča is female. Isonzo is male. The Soča is a water of contradictions; attractive and dangerous, known for its emerald color and bloody front. The First World War in these parts destroyed not only lives, villages and fields, but also the relationship that the people of that time had with nature. The survivors had to start from scratch and it seems that today we still live in this hastily concluded world. Meetings along the Soča reveal the contradictions in our modern relationship with nature. Compared to the life of the river, human life seems insignificant and yet we can today interfere with the laws of nature. At a time when political borders are being eliminated, we must know how to set our own boundaries in relation to our common river.
