Speleonaut / Under the Stone Sky

On the eve of Man's conquest of the Moon, in the summer of 1969, 34-year-old Milutin Veljković set off to spend the following 15 months in a wild cave in the Southeast Serbia. Milutin Veljković wasn’t just interested in beating the record in cave dwelling - he aimed to penetrate deep into the universe of depth. This extraordinary deed is first revealed outside - through a series of portraits of interesting characters, all connected to Veljković. Unexpectedly, we enter the underground world. The various narrated fragments from Veljković's detailed cave diary are brought to life: from his daily routines, such as making coffee and collecting insects - to the dramatic events of pooling out his own tooth, craving for a woman, fighting with the flood and hallucinations. From connecting with primeval ancestors in a disintegrated time and space, all the way to the outer space exploration, Speleonaut is in quest of our purpose.
