Stories From The Chestnut Woods Zgodbe iz kostanjevih gozdov
In a forested valley between Italy and Yugoslavia in the mid-20th century, a stingy widower befriends a young woman and helps her depart in search of a new life across the ocean. A chance encounter gives rise to a dreamy fairy tale on loss, regret and the power of imagination.
