The Day of the Rams in Gljev

Directed by Michele Trentini

2012 – 17'

Synopsis

The Didi of Gljev, in the Dalmatian hinterland, are fully-fledged rams and for the duration a day they act and behave as if they were a single magical flock.

This film is part of **Carnival King of Europe DVD 7 – THE PASTORAL LEGACY**. The living icons of an idealized pastoral past can often be detected behind the masquerade, revealed by the abundance of fleece in the costumes and the tinkling of bells.
