Synopsis
The film tells the story of the Old Faith in the Soča Region. While the time of the religion’s origin remains unknown, the only documented fact about this is that in 1331, the bringers of a new religion (Christianity) came from Čedad, initiating a violent Christianisation of the Soča region. This was a long and extremely violent process.

Director's statement
The biggest problem in making this film was what to shoot for 90 minutes of image if none of what this book is about exists anymore.

Although the remote, mysterious world of the Old Faith is difficult to relate to today, the one element of Once Upon a Time in Soča Valley that is particularly successful in how intensely it makes it accessible to us, are the sound layers that Boštjan Kačičnik has masterfully combined into an indivisible and expressive whole.
We wish to highlight Ema Kugler’s Once Upon a Time in Soča Valley for her directorial choices, which, in the absence of lore and material from the location, create a living monument to a pagan past that has been erased by the cruelty of Christianisation.
