This is a modern Balkan story about the eternal Woman, the Woman with an unbreakable spirit, a big heart, an amazing turbo shopping trolley and the best turshia – the Granny. On the other hand, this is a story about the modern woman who sometimes forgets about grannies, sometimes is annoyed by their preoccupation, but who manages to find a common ground with the Granny. A film about angry women’s power, which is the only power capable of fighting the Balkan administration.
