Plot

Three stories of motherhood and a city.

Sinekatalog’s take

Milčo Mančevski's anthology film interweaves three stories of motherhood in Skopje, from a children's play to a documentary shoot and an old woman. Unusual and uneven, with moments of beauty, it is a thoughtful, humane city portrait.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
