Description

Now threatened with extinction, the last populations have entrenched themselves in Romania, where the more traditional agriculture and the diversified landscapes give a glimpse of the nature of yesteryear in Central Europe. Like a road movie, filmmaker Jan Haft goes in search of the small daytime butterfly with golden reflections whose survival depends on the rich variety of its ecosystem.
