Just to get an
idea of how long some films are in production: I translated a treatment of this
award-winning documentary for Gebrueder Beetz Filmproduktion, Berlin way back in 2007, three full years before it was
finally released.
Doc Alliance offers the following summary of
the short: "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 conflict for the couples. The men find it
hard to be dependent financially on their women, when they used to proudly
provide for the family. Alongside the textile industry, the film tells the
parable of the children of Macedonia after the collapse of communism and takes
a look behind the curtains of globalization."
