Overview

Water is the source of life, so people have always adapted to it. When they captured it and directed it to their advantage, they mastered life. Cultures were born and civilizations were built around water reservoirs. It connected people. Today, the times when people used to go for water with buckets seem like a distant past, but many still remember how lively it was at the wells. Every day of the year demanded its own bucket, so they watched every drop they used. Only the arrival of the water supply system made it possible for everyone to get their own water, which flowed without limit. The wells began to fall into disrepair. The film records fragments of 20th-century history, as reflected in the water reservoirs of the cross-border Gorizia Karst.
