Piemule is about an ethnic group of Czechs which settled over a hundred and fifty years ago in the hills not far from Timisoara. The ancestor's of today's inhabitants, craftsmen and farmers, came to the Romanian highlands around the year 1822 with their families for work and livelihood. The filming began in 1980 and proceeded for several years under difficult conditions. Jana Sevcikova captured the way of life of one remote village through the changing seasons and religious ceremonies or social work rituals (Christmas, carnivals, Easter, weddings, harvest and the plowing of the land). She presents individual people and their customs, behavior and opinions. Employing a complex compositional structure, the film depicts the social aspects of this small enclave foreign to Romania, as well as its history and the moral depth of its people. Isolated from a foreign world this community has kept its language, culture and also a feeling of national identity.
