The Time of Silence 1970

Directed by Rudolf Sremec · Documentary · 14 min

In Slavonia in the 1970ies it was still common practice to send old people to a decrepit house, usually on the edge of a forest, where they'd be left waiting for death. This is a document about one such wait for death, of an 86-year-old farmer Antun Babić from the Slavonian village Babina Greda.
