A Macedonian girl is trying to swim the British Channel. During the ordeal, she remembers her troubled past.

1939, right before the beginning of the Second World War in Europe. Aleksandar Pingo, young, handsome lawyer from Veles, Macedonia, far on the south of the Balkans, lives his days as a bachelor.







A poor Macedonian woman named Ilinka is offered to marry a guest worker for German papers, but she first must divorce her husband Trajče who's struggling to provide for the family.


Three Macedonian women have to contend with control over their bodies, tradition, loyalty, pregnancy and adoption. They have not set out to change the world or society, but their struggle to become mothers makes them unlikely heroines. The three bittersweet stories, one medieval, two contemporary, mirror and contrast one another, exploring themes of love, trust and motherhood.

A thriller-comedy about siblings stealing busts throughout Skopje.
