Contrasting destinies in post-communist Eastern Europe: isolation and identity crisis in Belarus; war in the Balkans; uneasy 'progress' in Prague and Warsaw; people-power in Kiev; tranquility on the Romanian plains where a revolution was once born.

Not a search for the news, but for the 'genius loci', the essence of place.
