Synopsis
Set in the quaint but scarred Balkan town of Veles, three sisters long to escape the suffocating environment of their dying community and its polluting steel mill. Burdened by memories of their late father, each chooses a different path: Sapho struggles to secure a visa to Greece, Slavica desperately searches for a rich husband, and Afrodita harbors hopes for love and children. In this contemporary story of urban decay, director Teona Strugar Mitevska blends stark realism with memorable performances to create a vivid landscape of life and longing in post–communist Macedonia. Second feature from former child actor Mitevska, 35, founder of a brother-and-sister production company to help revitalize filmmaking in the former Yugoslav country under Tito.  Macedonian Oscar submission 2009.
