- Synopsis
- In the centre of the city of Titov Veles is a lead factory built during Tito`s communist regime. It spews pollution day and night: Kids with two heads and seven fingers are being born; middle-aged men die prematurely, women get cancer. In this wilting community, three sisters live together. Sapho, the youngest, plays handball and goes out with men. A lot of men: she hops from bed to bed to avoid solitude and escape this terrible place for fleeting moments. Afrodita, her mute twin, has always been silent. Their elder sister, Slavica, is 35 and has been on methadone for nine years. This sensitive Macedonian film portrays the intense relations between three sisters trying to survive in unbearable circumstances.
