Synopsis / Sinopsis

In the small town Brod from western Macedonia, there is an old church dedicated to Saint Nicholas (also known as H’d’r Baba). The different communities in the village come to church to pray, all in the same day. The Orthodox Christians are followed by the Bektashi, the Halveti, and the Sunni Muslims. Everybody in the village agree that the church belongs to them all, and that every community is entitled to use it. This ethnologic documentary carries an optimistic message by showing that understanding and tolerance are possible between various ethnic (Macedonians, Albanians, Turks and Roma) and religious communities (Christians and Muslims) living together.

În orăşelul Brod din vestul Macedoniei, există o veche biserică a Sfântului Nicolae (cunoscut şi ca H'd'r baba). În aceeaşi zi, aici vin, pe rând, să se roage creștini-ortodocși, urmaţi de musulmani din ordinele Bektash, Halvet și Sunni. Cu toții sunt de acord că biserica le aparține tuturor și că o pot folosi în mod egal. Documentarul cu valențe etnologice și cu un mesaj optimist universal ne propune un excelent model de conviețuire, înțelegere și toleranță între diverse grupuri etnice (macedoneni, albanezi, turci și romi) și religioase (creștini și musulmani).
