Furrow” is a free interpretation of the Balkan folk tale “Siljan the Stork”. The film goes beyond the theme of cultural identity, as “self-awareness about belonging to a particular group. The despot-old-man is an image representing the traditional (the folkloric) wisdom, articulating and preserving the mutually shared and self-evident daily interpretation of the world. In the end, the child doesn't enter the world of adults as in the tale. Metamorphosis into a bird( stork) he rises to the self-reflexivity of the spirit and enters into a world where the days are free for creative possibilities. The dramaturgy of “Furrow” is nonlinear - space is conditional and time is only apparent. We have only one hero - the becoming spirit - in different statuses. We have only one “event” - the hero’s becoming self-aware as a free spirit, which is a process that occurs outside of successive time (time as a continual sequence).
