简介:A tragicomic story from a rural setting was based on the collection of short stories by Milka Zimkova, who was also cast in the lead role. The lives of Johana Ovsena and her illegitimate daughter Pavlína seem to copy each other. Johana, a single mother, watches her daughter make the same mistake as she herself had made in the past. The makers of the film had very good knowledge of village life: Stefan Uher's film is an authentic picture of the way of life, regional traditions, and mentality of people from eastern Slovakia.
