Talented people like artists or writers who stayed have one choice only: work as seamstresses. Eriela, Beti and Vesna are seamstresses in the small town of Stip. If they wanted to afford one of their handmade blouses, it would cost them a month’s salary. While the women are fully employed, their men are less fortunate and find themselves unemployed after the collapse of communism. A situation with a lot of potential conflicts for the couples. The men find it hard to be dependent financially on their women.
Born in Skopje, Macedonia. After her studies at the Philology Faculty and Faculty of Drama Arts in Skopje, she received a DAAD scholarship and continued studying in Tubingen and Berlin (Germany). She worked as a radio journalist and playwright for theatre.
