"A sharp satire in Macedonia about power, change and the place of women in the patriarchal world." - Screen International

The action takes place in a small town in the eastern part of Macedonia. Every year in January, local pop throws a wooden cross into the river, behind which hundreds of men jump into the water. Whoever manages to fish it out can count on luck and prosperity. At least, this was the case until Petrunia succeeded.

In the local community, shock is mixed with rage, because how is it possible that the woman had the audacity to take part in the male ritual. A small scandal breaks out, especially since Petrunia is not going to step down.
