About the show
With great distance and even greater life experience, Mirjana Karanović returns after 40 years to the story of a singular woman in Serbian literature. The story of a fragile woman who never gives up on life, but accepts it in all its bitterness. She takes joy in small things and in magical moments that break the predictable linearity of a hard life in the provinces.
