Synopsis
This movie introduces to the viewer the European Neolithic Cucuteni – Trypillian culture, one of the greatest cultures of painted ceramics, with emphasis on its symbols, their meanings, how they have been preserved, and the people who still incorporate those symbols in contemporary folklore, more or less aware of their origin and meaning. An emphasis in this film was placed on Mother Goddess symbols and how they transformed and were assimilated over the millennia, but still comprehensible in the modern folklore.
