Three Macedonian women have to contend with control over their bodies, tradition, loyalty, pregnancy and adoption. They have not set out to change the world or society, but their struggle to become mothers makes them unlikely heroines. The three bittersweet stories, one medieval, two contemporary, mirror and contrast one another, exploring themes of love, trust and motherhood.

Milcho Manchevski is a New York-based Macedonian-born film director, writer, photographer and artist. His Academy-award nominated film Before the Rain won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, FIPRESCI and Independent Spirit, along with 30 other awards. The New York Times included it on its “1000 Best Films Ever Made” list. Manchevski has directed four other features: Bikini Moon, Mothers, Shadows and Dust, an episode of HBO’s The Wire and 50 short forms.
Visually, this is a lush film in which the rain-soaked streets of Skopje and its kitschy neo-classical monuments at times look almost as impressive as the gorgeous shots of nature from the first segment set in the Middle Ages
