Summary :
Documentary material (silent VHS) filmed by unknown authors during the war in ex-Yugoslavia. The instrumental musical theme is based on Nikola HERCIGONJA's "Solemn Song" (a revolutionary song celebrating communist Yusgoslavia). The words are those of the popular medieval song "The Death of the Yougovics' Mother", which is sung according to the tradition of the Balkan mourners. It tells of the mourning and death of a noblewoman whose nine sons and husband perished in the battle of the Kosovo field, between Serbs and Turks in 1389. BODY AND EARTH ARE THE TWO MATERIALS WHICH HAVE CAUSED SUFFERING IN ALL AGES AND IN ALL LANDS.
