Both movies are visually impressive, and since Safat's images speak so eloquently, there is little need for dialogue (and in "Grandson of the Mountains", there is no spoken text at all). Ilgar Safat, who in his spare time is a singer-songwriter, explores the encounter of ordinary people with the spiritual realm, which in these short movies is represented as an inscrutable force, usually silent and invisible, but which can manifest itself unexpectedly, and draw individuals to their salvation -- or destruction.
