The Mystical Canyon of Rakitnica is a documentary about human curiosity and desire to discover and see something that is hidden and unreachable, despite the difficulties and dangers that arise along the way. The film follows a group of enthusiasts and adventurers who struggle to survive in the wilderness, as they descend the steep cliffs of this naturally carved phenomenon of surreal, mystical beauty. They face injuries, hypothermia, and inability to communicate with the outside world. The Rakitnica Canyon, with its steep cliffs and unpredictable flow, poses a barrier to human curiosity. Located near Sarajevo, the Rakitnica River carves a 26-kilometer-long canyon, one of Europe’s deepest, reaching up to one kilometre in depth, and only one meter in width. It is said that fewer people have traversed this canyon from end to end, than have travelled to space.
