CASTLE CLASH

This music documentary speaks about the recording of an album by Matej Meštrović and the Sudar (Clash) Percussion Ensemble in the Castle of Sv. Križ Začretje in Hrvatsko zagorje. While the recording captures the echo bouncing of the castle walls, the piano player and his band playfully create a unique, extraordinary soundtrack for a strange story about the lady of castle, who happens to live like a “pauper” amongst all the exuberance around her. This is a story about music and Matej Meštrović, but also about an indifferent society, absurd neglect of the cultural heritage, expensive personal misjudgements and poor decisions, clashing with illusions…
