Synopsis

Somewhere in the Carpathians between Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland lies the village of Stuzhytsia. In Ukrainian the name of the village means „cold place". The film tells the stories of three women: the farmer Hanna, the post woman Maria and the biologist Nelya. Surrounded by mountains they cope with social reality and loneliness. The colder the Carpathian winter gets, the more human warmth the film team finds. The film portrays an unknown place in the middle of Europe, where people have to decide daily between leaving and staying.
