Synopsis

The film tells the story of women who traditionally, due to the proximity of Italy, help the elderly and infirm for extra income. These women, when they are at home do other extra chores, in this case various sweets that others look forward to, but they make them out of the need to feed their families. Husbands are of no use and the entire burden of family survival is on women. There are a large number of such women in northern Istria and this story speaks of their strength and dedication to the family.
