Quick pacing of tourists. Drivers are getting nervous at the temperature of 40°C. Masses of bodies on the beach. Noise and garbage. Croatia – a touristic country at the peak of season is ready to take all chances for quick profit… Only several kilometres further, you can find a perfect Zen, a place where people collect salt, pick olives and build drystone walls. “Salt, Olive, Stone” is a visual essay about something which we already forgot. It is an ode to work, nature and – silence.
