The Issa Valley

The Issa Valley

dir.

Tadeusz Konwicki

1982, 1 h 42 min

Several lives intertwine in the Lithuanian Issa valley at the end of the 1990s. There is little Tomaszek, a priest romantically involved with a housekeeper, and Barbarka – a maid whose master doesn’t reciprocate her feelings. There is Baltazar, a mad gamekeeper with existential anxiety that urges him to commit a crime. There are also devils and demons known from Lithuanian legends that accompany all of them in their earthly matters.
