A historical story of family and faith. For 900 years, the Andrović family has guarded the cross of the first Serbian saint, St. Jovan Vladimir. Only two family members at a time know where the cross is kept and hidden. The way they guard and pass it down from generation to generation demonstrates strength and family loyalty. The hero, Milo Andrović, talks about the time when others wanted to steal and institutionalize the cross. Through archival footage, we track the flow of time and the weight that the Guardians carry for centuries.
