In the mountainous outback of Kosovo, in the
household surrounded by a dense forest, lives
MILICA with her mother and grandfather. When
the night falls the family barricades in the
house, frightened by the terror coming out of
the woods. Is that horror of the besieged house
an echo of the recent war times, or just their
imagination, as the KFOR officials would have
them believe? There is no material evidence
that something bad is happening, but with
every forthcoming night, their fear rises...

The subject of the documentary is an archeo-
logical excavation in a mountainous village in

the film addresses issues about how the past is
intertwined with the present of the local com-
munity. Placed in the residential area of the vil-

a past being always present in the daily life of
Gerakiotes. ‘’1000m2 of time’’ is a documentary
