A cinematic meditation on the sculptural and painterly legacy of Vladimír Kompánek, crafted from images of his artworks, recollections of his hometown Rajec and childhood, and the enduring influence of his vivid imagination. Enhanced by the comforting melodies of Svetozár Stračina, the film captures Kompánek's aspiration to create „sculptures akin to loaves of bread—handcrafted and imbued with a homely essence, evoking a sense of comfort and familiarity“.
