Folk tales have made a long journey in time, in order to meet the 21st century people. With the Narration Festival as its starting point, the film attempts to connect the beauty of a landscape with the wisdom of the timeless and placeless feature of storytelling. The feedback from the residents and visitors, the organizers and the audience, in combination with the artistic influence and inspiration of the oral folk tale, as well as its scientific value, is depicted in this brief chronicle, which wishes to create an original offer of culture and communication.
