Premiere

GOSPOD POSTOI, IMETO I’ E PETRUNIJA  Gott existiert, ihr Name ist Petrunya (God Exists, Her Name Is Petrunija)

Macedonia/Belgium/Slovenia/Croatia/France 2019. Director: Teona Strugar Mitevska
Cast: Zorica Nusheva, Labina Mitevska. 100 mins. DCP. Original language version with German subtitles.

Petrunya is 31 years old, lives with her parents and has no job prospects. After an unsuccessful interview, she lets her frustration run wild. As she passes by a procession throwing a blessed cross into the water, she forestalls the group of young men participating in the annual event and pulls it out. The deed becomes a scandal that encompasses all areas of Macedonian society from the church to the judiciary to the media, and which the director stages as an angry, melancholic satire.
