The Sweetness of Bitter Things

Directed by Andrey Volkashin

With Zorica Nuševa, Leo Dolores Popovikj, Jana Nikodinovska, Ana Kostovska and Gorast Cvetkovski

In rural Macedonia, Dora, a middle-aged doctor, has built her life around duty – to her distant husband, troubled daughter, and ailing mother. When an injured young woman is brought into her home, caring for her awakens a desire Dora has suppressed for decades. Their growing intimacy becomes a secret affair, slowly destabilising the life she has worked so hard to preserve.
