Vanja Bulić: Madonna's Falcon
On the shore of Lake Rovni, where the church of Valjevska Gračanica was submerged, the water threw out the body of an unknown girl in a diving suit, killed with a harpoon.

Then the story takes an unexpected turn: in the Sokolica monastery there is a sculpture of the Virgin Mary Sokolica, one of the most valuable cultural assets from the Byzantine era, which an American billionaire wants to move to his private museum...
