Film Lens
Ivetka a hora is a documentary centered on the spiritual experience of three children on Mount Zvir in Slovakia. On August 5, 1990, Ivetka, Katka, and Miťko, aged 10, 11, and 7, were playing when they heard strange sounds from the forest. Their fear led them to hide in a hayloft, where they prayed for protection. The film captures this moment of fear and faith, culminating in a revelation when the Virgin Mary appeared to the children.
The documentary presents a unique perspective on childhood innocence and spirituality, focusing on the children's experience and their immediate reaction to the supernatural event. The setting in the Lubovnianska Highlands adds to the film's atmosphere, emphasizing the contrast between the natural world and the spiritual encounter that unfolds within it.
