SYNOPSIS
The darkly comic film follows a brother and sister scraping by on the margins in Macedonia. With rebellious swagger, they steal bronze busts and manhole covers to survive. Their unruly journey leads them to a rich, blind old woman whose toughness and generosity force them to confront questions of morality and devotion.
