Scattered between a turquoise lake and a deep blue river lies the Macedonian city of Struga, set where the Black Drin flows out of Lake Ohrid. On the way to Radodza, the Kalishta Monastery awaits, celebrated for its cave churches cut into the cliffs at the water's edge and for a uniquely revered icon of the Virgin. This documentary follows the shoreline south from Struga, filming frescoed rock chapels, monastic courtyards and lakeside villages within the UNESCO-listed Ohrid region — a serene, contemplative chapter of North Macedonia's spiritual landscape, filmed in natural light on the quietest shore of the lake.
