VALSOVE I TANGA OT SELO BELA VODA
WALTZES AND TANGOS FROM THE VILLAGE OF WHITEWATER
Anatoly lives with his mother near a coalmine. The miners come to eat in her pub at midday. Sometimes, when another drunk admirer starts kicking up a row outside the window, he protectively places himself in front of his mother. He’s unsure what he wants to do with his life, spends hours daydreaming on his bed or cycling through the fields. When he finds himself being swindled again by brisk Maragita at the market, all he can do is gaze at her from afar. But everything has its time, and at some point Anatoly takes the initiative. A quiet and touching tale of coming of age.
