"Where we are!" Poetic essay from the region of Central Slovakia is portraying picturesqueness of this mountainous land with its roman and gothic architecture captured by camera and paintbrush. Snapshot evokes senseof purity and simple beauty that is echoed with intact natural scenery, romantic historical sites and characters. On the contrary, shots from contemporary slovak town of Banská Bystrica, cultural and business center of the region, act somehow disturbing..as it were not corresponding to the long-life nature of the place. Random chaplain is commenting on value of arts and life. The whole atmosphere of the snapshot is underlined by music.

Since the Middle Ages sheep breeding is a natural part of the character of the Slovak land. Is it a romantic lifestyle or hard work? This film is a documentary about the strength of nature, submission, respect to traditions, but mainly about man and his work in changing times.
