Dom pre jeleňa

Stories that explore the borders between people and animals, and between nature and human dwellings. Families living in different kinds of settlement, from a mountain hamlet and a sheep farm to the house for a stag itself, are caught in curses, secrets or disputes over property, set against war or religious conflict. Myths of Slovak villages seep into the present, with an oppressive, mysterious force that weighs above all on girls and women.
