The political Balkan Western in black and white. Highly praised, incredibly rough. In 2015 rewarded among others with the Silver Bear.
DATES AND TICKETS

The film tells the fate of a poor peasant woman against the background of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the beginning of the 1990s. But at the same time it is a universal parable on all mothers during the time of war.

Rafael, a 19-years old Roma, lives without prospects with his grandfather in impoverished circumstances. Until one day a boxing club owner takes him under his wings.
Again inspired by a true story, the film centres on female sexuality, which, of course, is taboo in the Muslim country.
