DESCRIPTION OF THE FILM:
On the Polish-Ukrainian borderland the pace of life is slow, but underneath the surface of things, the density of it leads beyond understanding. Life and death do not mean the persistence and disappearance of biological processes here, they are impenetrable forces that constitute reality. This is where the Whisperer lives. She heals people using the power of words, gestures and images. Rough nature, religious ceremonies and pagan rituals are what you will encounter along the path to this state of mind.
"It is unbelievable how things match when you follow whispers of reality. We started from the idea of the documentary, then we decided that (also for artistic reasons) we needed to stage everything, and we ended up with a true whisperer performing true rituals and a true priest taking part in it in a true place where it all happened. We’ve learned that sometimes if you try to do something bigger than life, life reveals to be bigger than what we think."
Jacek Nagłowski, Patryk Jordanowicz
