there are some places just about everyone has heard of. but few truly no one such place is transylvania male dominated culture that never the less has it softer sides. ross of horses like a child. horses are like members of the family for us. romano. transylvania is a region with a long history and pfeifer and traditions. it's a place where people enjoy life and are even at peace with the idea that one day coming to an end with financial aid, they could, it's, you know, cemetery is the only one in the world, but people lost my problem of them crossing the away from the cities, some places appear almost frozen in time. right in the heart of europe,

the. the low hanging clouds of mist, sinister legends, vampire stories. transylvania is perhaps best known for the saga of count dracula. brand castle is marketed as the counts home, but the region has much more to offer than spooky mets. its magnificent buildings are the backdrop to dramatic history. on gary ends, germans and romanians have shaped transylvania. in the far north, on the border with ukraine is not on board as the region historically. a part of transylvania is known for its skilful crafts people and the elaborate wooden church is recognized by unesco squared heritage sites

in the small orthodox christian community of serpents, residents believe that death loves wood. they say that the whole of human life, from the crib to the coffin is bound up with wood and people here have an unusual view of death. this is especially evident in the symmetry of this village of 3000 precedents. when a person dies to get their very own personal memorial, a lovingly carved brightly painted wooden cross, a picture, and a poem, each one unique. tell the story of the deceased. honestly, implacably, for better or for worse. for 45 years to meet you pop has been carving crosses here a place the locals called the mary symmetry. this makes some something of a village chronicler. the plan is for a son in law,

you want to one day follow in his footsteps. to do the job. one needs to know a lot about the people that's offensive. well, this is the new gonna split the dean. this is, the whole village knows the story, this deceased women. good because everyone knew how badly she treated the family, especially her son in law and quinton. she repulsed him around it. didn't find me to have to tons touch it, but then people knocked him for the she soccer. so i thought those you can the did you mean that they're shipping us yada? yeah. cool. good off the back of those. yeah, the family asked me to make a cross that was a true memorial liar for chad. no cool executives when yeah, yeah. she lou matt and chip outside of the day. i think i was like a and this is. yeah. so it's a, this all colors, silver chest, it's a nice this cross that lies my mother and it all these unit that if she live just one day meal you, i'd be down 3 credit to you with my there's cross shirts that i'm trying to wake up

otherwise she'll come back home to renew it and tease me. mean it was it the but a reaction is positive because it's probably the ones that i've written anything wrong. it's of no, no problems. how she walked out is if you can say like god, that persona it's demitria alone. who decides which life event commemorates the deceased and above all, what information is included in the short poem? yes, i've heard about this on a district. this is for a young man who dodge in a car accident and i wrote the following is national. i rest here to young age is my name is green cool guy. i get one on the property. put myself an expensive car much mercedes didn't last long. we, i died in my car for that before did even left last night when life came to an end . so i went through roney, i'd at least have deprived me yet, but now i'm not even mike right preferred to nicole as the final words of

remembrance. since here, but with a wink and a notch, but to meet you has no intention of mocking the deceased. he carves paints and writes with one overarching aspiration. cook, underneath the day as the, the due to the dinner is to change people's perspective on past the notion a mary symmetry is the only one in the world, but people off about that rather than cry, new separately and taking the sorrow out of death emission that became his life's work. over the years, the 67 year old has made a name for himself across romania. the geographically transylvania forms the center and the northwest of romania. the

region surrounded by the elongated mountain ranges of the carpet and the fusion apple got as seen as the unofficial capital of transylvania. with some 325000 residents, closed its romania 2nd largest city and the cultural economic and scientific center of transylvania. the formerly known as cows and book, it was founded by german settlers and the 13th century. the grand buildings and the old town testified to its great regional significance. today, it's mostly young people out and about on the streets. clues is a university city representing a young and modern transylvania, an exception innovation that's for the most part room and traditional

in the small towns and villages. there's an incredible sense of peace and quiet here. people still have time for at least they take it on the roads there almost as many carriages as there are cars. horses are closely linked to the regions history to this day in transylvania. they're not just an important mode of transport. they're also a state of constantine ramos, is the proud owner of $31.00 horses. his farm isn't far from close side below. ha ha ha. come to papa. how do you say come to papa? who's the best day? who's to michael? i'm inside ha. constantine or costello, as everyone calls him, has

a close, almost familiar like bond with his horses killing me almost any more horses are the most beautiful animals on this planet. i have loved horses since i was a kid. pretty mother, when i was 8, i bought myself a donkey. the i couldn't afford anything more luck about the food to a now adays. not only does costello have enough money to pursue his passion, he's also turned into a source of income, east and breeding, and selling horses for 30 years the. what's the last the, hey, look here. so we the guy, come to papa. let give me your leg. the good boy, a good boy, but i but of those he's still young because that if you don't train him now he'll kick you in the face later. you has to learn now. think just like a child,

look up to you. but as much as he goes fond of the animals, at some point, it's time to let them go. one of the regions most important markets is taking place tomorrow. stella, the mirror is due to change, hands for the negotiations are already in full swing until the part that means i've asked for 4500 years. i don't know if i'll get that. i have to convince the buyer in person. i'll try and negotiate the highest possible price only the potential buyer wants to see some new photos before meeting the horse tomorrow. in the flash castille breeds from my desk. send me crazy. a traditional romanian freed originally used us working animals today. they're primarily a status symbol at the upcoming horse market and g low. they're highly priced.

the transylvania means beyond the far like i stick old carpet farse cover a large areas of the region right up to the peaks of the car, pacey and mountains. the few people who settled here live with and from nature. it sounds romantic, but it's not so easy. it's 6 in the morning. the start of the working day for shepherd twi, desktop bush, even though today's work it's a little out of the ordinary way. megan ok now they said they could have, it's going to be a tough thing and that's just the way to sort. i shouldn't make it feel i work in my bones this evening. but that's ok. swat eric can't live from his cheap alone with every 2 months. he steps off to spire sites to make charcoal

the but that's like i put in the pushes. so if anybody needs to chuckle to suffice same, otherwise there isn't enough money funding. we need both the sheet of the charcoal and then we managed to get by and if they do not have the funds to others, family farm is located high up in the mountains besides cheap, he owns goats, pigs. and if you heck, there's a forest, meaning he has what it is disposal. with the source material at hand tried eric and get started. he gradually piles up several tons of phone dry wood. the center, what's known as the quando shaft is crucial. it square twat air will light the fire later to do this. he needs phone dry wood. i refined technique

and this secret ingredient that's the brother of the funds on to foster, one by one water and this helper stacked the logs in a circle around the core. it looks simple, but it demands great concentration. the spacing is crucial to close and not enough oxygen will reach the core too far apart and it will for an even link doesn't gone through with a lot of hold on. let me see if i did a good job at the end. i come on up until then all i can do is i'll try to grow up in the mountains, just him and his parents. well, other children, practice writing and math, todd, or learn to bring $400.00 sheep safely to pasture, to make cheese out of milk. and charcoal out of what? nobody really i couldn't walk in an office. no, i need the freedom and the fresh air out here in nature. and most everyone can live in the city anyway. now hold on. the stack is almost

finished. a pile of wood queen tons with ventilation shafts. to water covers it. first with straw and then with cold ash and soil. this protects the wood from wind and moisture. finally, the lights to fire through a narrow cabin the stacked news about the vehicle. martha anita, how are you? that's more so the fun catch is on the other side of the family back a oh is it just the front of zillow fish in the mountains and the flames go out quickly. but the embers continued to glow beneath the dome,

where there's just enough oxygen to school life and controlling the invisible smouldering fire to prevent the stack from going up in flames. the twat air won't know how good the charcoal will be until he reopens the stag. after 5 days, transel, virginia has been the backdrop of an eventful history. romania is best known region is a melting pot of different european peoples, the culture of the region's ethnic germans as entrenched here to this day. there are more than $150.00, preserved fortified churches here an impressive legacy of the chancel, banyon saxon. they were built around the 15th century to defend against the ottoman invasion. and towns like beauty done or a cd swatter,

precedents could take refuge and the structures. houses of worship were turned into proper strong holes with thick walls, observation, towers, and entire neighborhoods. most of the ethnic germans began leaving romania after 1970. today. around 16000 transylvanian saxon still live in the region. in the village of king, quote, 2 of them are going back to their roots. marlena and alex, how that want to preserve the culture and language of their ancestors in particular, the artist and traditions of the transfer being in fact since the together, they're renovating the house. that once belonged to molly. in his grandparents with old materials and tools when possible, they're currently working on a wooden pavilion details for them. the challenge is when you work with old

materials, it's quite normal that nothing fits and everything is crooked because everything was crafted by hands, almost always in the water. well, a carpenter, alex takes care of practical aspects. marlena goes on a daily treasure hunt for old items. her latest find, antique doors and matching windows. she's also discovered evidence of their historic value. i'm trying to move one afternoon web students to show me that can we found the exact technical drawing in the carpenter's book from 1874 lessons in done that provide things like this of proof that here in this region of transylvania and romania there's an old office in tradition to hunt, that's wealth, reviving the voice a hero. and that's to be that believe and in their renovation project, the habits utilize their ancestors materials and know how as a way of building sustainably, well saving money. these fines very nearly became firewood.

yeah, this is replacement and this yes, so it's a great piece of work in terms of craftsmanship and design checklist. it's a real tricia that survive to more than 100 years out in it. but there's still quite a bit of work to do before alex can fit the doors into the wooden frames. it's going in many may 2 millimeters. yeah, that's thing put lot of all the problems districts too long and the joint has the wrong dimensions. but alex is not giving up, they're not just pains, they're challenging. one of them. in his workshop, alex finds a suitable tool for every challenge. the 38 year old collects traditional tools from the region and repairs done. i think that that was investigated,

credited from the old tools are better to some of the quality of steel is better and they're much more robust than the standard tools. you can buy everywhere these dates and come on and, and if they're old and from the village, it's safe to say they were made by a village blacksmith with a particular craftsman in mind. you must ex dawson up cuz don't so he'd never give them anything shouting because the 2 of them would say each other, almost every day. the unconventional project has long been the subject of village gossip. risen. the largest city or sure people shake their heads when they talk about us. some were the ones who collect all the old junk that would normally be thrown away to make a few quick lane for a scrap iron or firewood toys, no one's collecting this kind of stuff. so of course we're the freaks around here and see the freaks. but that's just fine. good. so

alex was born in but i show marlena in bucharest they were raised bilingually. but living in germany was never an option for them. their roots to their romanian homeland. randy and many nephews them here, especially that's my new mortgage document is the grandmother dying to know, so i came to the empty house a short time later certification live, who fade into a very difficult time in my life, the associate against it, that's only mainly the time when i was wondering who i was, what i was actually doing the yeah. so that it gave me so i wasn't so conscious of it at the time.

but it turned out to be a wonderful dream. and so malayna state. but realizing her dream became more complicated than expected, the couple kept coming up against new unforeseen problems. that's not why late or is it the nails from alex to supply don't fit. they won't be able to continue working on the wooden frames for the pavilion. well, molina and alex tried to find a solution for the to the noise. people are also working to preserve another or it has no chance of being in tradition in the little village of suspense to meet you, pop mixers would reprocess for the disease. he's been doing it for 45 years. he feels those 2 years and his phones it's important to him that the tradition is

passed on. his son in law is to take over the reins. a huge honor for the young man . interest from me. she lives, i sound like a why that is, that's a big responsibility for me. i mean, if that's the, just what is the last flight dental care that i'm not setting out to be better than my predecessor, but i'd like to at least reach his level. i'd like to achieve that. it pushes i'm a cadillac, like many young romanians, few on worked on construction sites or funds across europe as a migrant labor. his home village couldn't secure him a future, neither personally nor financially. i've told him at dmitri his daughter and started helping out in the workshop. great, because she worked with across has gave me a purpose of mice again. so that's why i decided to stay in pensa. i felt at home

here again, it was very difficult at home here again, it was difficult for me before the test for 2 years and look over the job soon after them his this one problem. his skills aren't quite up to the master's exacting standards the she has frontier masters, but i'd like to to finish chiseling the up a reef to dice the with the lesser and go lighter. pretty good. the tip and i hope it works out, but that i'm nearly done here. you, once you've done that much, you can help me with the pain to pick to it up the coaches to come. so i'll do my best on this cross as to be a final memorial to partridge family friend the

the, the, the g low horse market is a combination of trade show and family reunion. it's already packed, just like every year. and traders are still trying to secure an area on the field, which is much too small, the cost down the horse speedo from who's estimates again. but he's determined to find a spot the point of my business. if it's, if i don't know of any event like this festival is unique, 50, but it's about honor and monitors. it is the same on a lot of money. who costello's hoping to sell one of his best mares today?

the potential buyer is also the organizer of the market. the mode of making sure everything comes together the future and for some of the screen just goes on this thing i can put into words how important this market is to me. it's in my blood. oh, sometimes my father, my grandfather in my entire family always had horses and that's how they are in the living between you know, i don't study kind of voice, it's like a child. remember looking for me. courses are like members of the family for us, romano. so that really for me to, to listen to them we'll see, belongs to the romani ethnic group like almost all those taking part in the market . the 1st through many people arrived in transylvania in the mid 14th century from india and anatolia horse trading as one of this ethnic minorities oldest and most respected professions. with a lot of fanfare,

the men try to get potential buyers to notice their voices. negotiations are conducted in a rather crude manner. enough few for such a. 3000 fuel chunk scoundrel, 4000. eventually a double handshake, seals the deal, and the tone becomes friendlier. the horse trading as a male domain in a culture that's generally dominated by man. aside from money, this business is also about socializing. the market is the get together of the year for the romani. they each drink and party into the night. it just depends. it's a different atmosphere. the village in northern pennsylvania is in morning. a member of the close knit community died just a week ago. the widow newtown,

has commissioned across for husband stan cork. everyone's still in shock. he was only 57 years old, and infection resulted in oregon failure. committee . jim looked at close with no one saw coming general. if you'd only complain about the pain earlier, if he'd been at the hospital sooner, but it was already too late. his entire body was infected will not students of sat in suspense. a. people have an unusual attitude to death, say more, try not to 12 interests are of us. remember the good things. i think if there's so many photos of it, i check one of our grand daughters just one year old. here i check with slash by the window new to has us to meet you pop to make across. as all the villagers do,

when enough one dies, locals believe the cross as the entrance to paradise, the contrast and what does that have to participate to fax? the cross will be a sign of respect for my beloved husband. you know, i mean, i'm not worried because i trust to meet your with all my heart. and he says he knows the story of every person he makes across for hutchins changes from here. he was a friend of my husband, but i wanna, he knows everything i thought see if that's okay, give me 115 days from when i do me true. pop knows dunkirk and his wife. well, he was at their wedding and their children's baptisms. while demetrius son in law works on the carving, dmitri will write a poem about his departed friend with just the types of things that i was trying to westside when a family member process. i didn't, i mean, we'll miss it. i'm the to the up. i don't have that and if i mean on this occasion

to dimitry a little remain true test principles say so. so to present whatever our role it's on the cross to that there's always a surprise for the family to find media. they only see the cross at this stage. and then again, once it's completely finished, the daughter never shows a problem before i enter my, but otherwise i might say, don't, right? that's what i had. no, no, no, no, cuz i protested. this is pronunciation, the new tough fully and trust demitra was composing her husband's final attribute the to mary's symmetry of spencer. it's one of a kind like an open book where visitors can read about the late residents of the village. the orthodox christian community facing tests with openness and humor. and there's a lesson in there for the living or to

meet you knows how tough life can be. but he always tries to see the bright side. apart from when there is nothing cheerful or humorous to say, as in the case of this little girl or h as vanessa i've done in house talk to you that came from cbs. because because the country is not, we have to stop in front of our house and run me over and make my parents so side. i wouldn't go to that to didn't judge it could get in this tragic accident that happened in front of the parents of interest sent to the events like this a some painful death. such a go else cannot describe it. why should each time i read a sense of grief or tut? chavez, a chip in 2 minutes and 30 i fell off. with no matter how terrible the fate to meet,

you must always find words but the unprofitable, including now for the death of his friend stan, good. the embers and the charcoal pile of 12 deer top ash has been burning for 5 days. few layer tons of wood to build the stack, also known as a clump. walters, smoking as animals quickly today. because his instinct is telling him, it's time to open the club for the 4 months and that will be so you'll get a good results that sometimes the cold has been done up in the wood stays as it has taken a lot of good feeling. we've been trying to put some of the money from the sale of the charcoal as an important source of income for to water and his family. the animals alone aren't enough to make ends meet the

water can't really tell what the pile looks like inside. he needs to open it the price. i mean, i'm starting here, the life cycle mazda needs more time. it's not showing you how to do it still would need to close the whole again. calculator, so not the same for just like a back, otherwise, all small of a flame again. no ma'am. my electrical components. swab air gingerly closes the gap here on the left. the wood isn't yet sufficiently charged, but the embers aren't even the distributed. on the right side, it could be ready to waters hoping for partial success. at least i'm just what's that starting like an boy. now i need to see if it's worked here or not. how does it looks good? it didn't say mindful the trunk go slowly starting to show. yeah. yeah, there's

a ship that's like a moving from there. so charles isn't just as good with the i think that's a very good chunk of the study back. i think no matter how i struck it, it doesn't break, but it's a good quality for you for that, that twat or assembly is one of about 20 living in the mountains isolated from the rest of civilization. they rely on each other to survive. water supplies them with his charcoal for 40 late per cent, around 8 your the and there is always fuel in the house for cooking. supper today as mutton and cradle sheets, smell the between the sheets and the

charcoal water is confident. how always be able to feed his family here, tucked away in the mountains of transylvania. the as in ching cool. it's also time to get cooking like her approach to house renovation. melinda, have tried to use what's on hand for her meals today. she's prepping a wine, so a typical dish that her ancestors would have eaten to boost their immune systems. especially when they had a cold to care for the difference of opinion. saxons are known to be frugal when it comes to that cuisine. one, pick it up, this is canals or the alpha that means using and see what's available. i'm just

used my name is cooking ahead of time because she has an important appointment today. work on the old pavilion hasn't been progressing. alex couldn't find the right nails for the job. the blacksmith friend should be able to help. he's going to make them custom nails. the head can be slightly bigger, and that's a 50, empty, or radically the head can be just as big toe mustang strikes the iron heated to around 1350 degrees in the fire into the males. precise conical shape. there's a small german speaking community in the region. it's a mix of transel vanya saxons, and people who have left germany to come and live here many of them or says crafts

people per artist, a sincere it is slow. oh, wow, super cool. oh, wow. the new nails and the old doors fit perfectly. the the story pavilion project is finally coming along. is amazing. i can, i can picture it's properly now. it's going to be great. we've got a reason to celebrate. don't wait and i'm going and going so far. i know you bad. hm. lou. well then let's talk in a couple of things. their friends and helpers with wind soup and cake. their dream of a house with a rich back story. and the home of their ancestors is taking shape the

and spencer a new date ons. to meet you, pop is finding the right words for the attribute to his late friend. as apprentice you on it's making the final touches to the cross. the new one is under a great deal of pressure just after all demitra count, retire until his son in law is able to fashion an entire cross on his own. the more to look regarding this and get it's not perfect is there are a few small mistakes. if you look closely, jeanette, the most important thing is the, this line here is perfectly straight. so that forms a distinct framework because if you need something to be done that well, when you for your in my might instead of making it. yeah, the next step is for you want to apply color to the cross

the bright hughes if the grave crosses are just as unusual as the poems and portraits are you on is getting better all the time. but no one becomes a village chronicler and poet overnight. she don't know i'm with, i'm still a beginner. there are many tricks and techniques left for me to learn normal things, but i'm in the best position possible because demetrius is a great teacher. but on to columbus pull some professor frontier. well, i'm confident i'll be able to replace. i'm assuming what's and then what's good. a good equipment demitra has written around 500 times during his career. this fun was especially difficult, but now he thinks he's found the right words. i guess i'm not the gmc session. i you to my here on life to rash.

my name is stone goal guarantee, or i'll tell you the truth because the lead my life was not easy. it was defined by look at a more it didn't have such a full di shed. that's why i'm lying and coughing. now, she the only nice thing i love it. if i make snaps from my own apple office, most lovely his widow will be pleased showing that you cannot do we accept these ties. i sometimes wonder what i'll leave behind that. i'm put, you know, i don't know how many more years i have left. but luckily, i've got someone to take, of course, if i go to page about the actual mascot in between the time comments. so you might hope you want to write the truth, some like cross it to a chip that will be up into coach on the truth about a life in just

a few words. that's no simple feet for demitra and you on life isn't solely about the highest or the lowest, which is why there will always be space for both at the mary symmetry. and so pensa c. 2 2 g little market, the horses aren't just for sale. they also compete in a variety of contests. the animals must demonstrate their strengths and some score extra points for beauty. nowadays, the market runs itself. organizer proceeds timely, has time to devote to his own business. so people couldn't then punch in while you can, but if i like something then i have to have it run out because still have something i really liked about you. oh cool. so the yeah. i wish you a long live close though. how are you?

i'm very well this is the mayor. i'd like to sell also. yeah. but she's a beauty. how old is she again so well just to, to use exactly the way i the she's what your price. i'd like 4500, but i don't know what you can afford. that's daylight robbery. we're not in germany . what's your offer for the 3500 to the 33500 for this mer? no. what was the deliberate or legs was like a goddess of the utility fully for yourself, looking to take a close look at the se of the she kind of what's your final pricing bridge? those that are offers to low of the customary negotiation is underway. the mentees and provoke one another, seeing how far they can push it. a single handshake signals initial interest. after

some haggling, couple handshake seals the deal. so i don't know. yeah, we're good for the level, good level. been very pleased with that. we agreed on $3750.00 euro, so that's a fair price for both of us up to set you that the mirror is a perfect fit for my breathing program. i'm going to get the bottle. but it opened up was the selling. the mayor was meter sweeties me, they wanted me to is a those are those easy car, but i know where she's going, but it open the door, them away with him. she won't have to work in the forest. she won't be the cushion they bought to me. it was like a father and his child. exactly. because i wouldn't entrust my daughter to a bad man, but the gentle good bible is there. nobody has his old home audio. that's the way it is with my horse as to the early
