SYNOPSIS
Video documents a day in a house, where both the main Ljubljana food market and Christian seminary are based. Lively, ordinary conversations with the vendors blend with scenes from peaceful clerical life, which goes on undisturbed in the upper storeys of the same building. While the first, engaged with the earth and the material side of being, the second deal with spiritual and soulful aspect of life. Through the narrator the author questions about existence of life beyond matter.
Classical documentary shots of the atmosphere of both halves of the building are combined with interviews, followed by narration of the protagonist, sounds of both spaces and instrumental music.
"A day made a new circle in a life of a house cut on body and soul in two lines. If its essence is actually only what we see, or it turns to something else, I don't know." (Hribernik, J.; House of contrasts)
