The Last Rafter

30.08. :0
Synopsis:

The film follows the last log floater on the river Tara in Montenegro, a wild and very dangerous river. He is a descendant of the Pendek family, the once famous family of log floaters and ‘’Triftars’’ from Bastas in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On Splavište, Fikret has a log made of wooden trunks, weighing several tons. Together with around 10 impatient tourists, he is floating it down the strong and fast currents between high stone bulks, and letting it into an unusual adventure. The film portrays one day in Fikret's life, which is marked by one dilemma - should he abandon the family tradition and a hundred-year heritage, leave the hard labour on a log or should he continue no matter what?
