Screening time

This is a documentary about true communication, freedom, a little town and about jazz as a way of life.

The place where it all happens is a jazz tavern Kamene priče, situated within the stone walls of Bale – a small and tranquil town in mainland Istria, which has been hosting the biggest non-profit jazz festival in the country called Last Minute Open Jazz Festival. Over time the festival has become a very important place for many world-renowned artists, producers and audiences that wish to experience sincere art.
