Horse Riders

Running time: 19'27"
A certain village near Opole is celebrating Easter Sunday. 
People gather in front of the church, but there are also horses crowding here.
It is a traditional element of Easter celebrations, among which you can also find prayers, a horse ride around the nearby buildings and passionate, alcohol-fuelled singing. Enigmatic editing and black-and-white pictures bring out the atmosphere of the holiday. The sacred merges with the profane.
