About the film
The Belarusian village of Lubeiki is inhabited solely by women. They buried not only their husbands but their children as well. Nevertheless, they possess immense vitality and the strong will to live.

In the words of one of the main characters, “life is short, make it sweet.” In the film, they sift through their memories and songs, sharing with us their secrets of overcoming one's fears.

Since the time this movie was created, only Nadzeya Mikalaeuna Nekrashevich is still alive out of the four heroines.

This film was Aleksey Paluyan's student work.
