SOMEWHERE UP IN THE MOUNTAINS
Anita Gorgieska (Macedonia)
We learn about a Macedonian village of the title where there are virtually
no young women left and the men therefore have to do all the chores, cooking
and laundry for themselves. There are no asphalt roads so no one visits;
but despite their hardships and their loneliness, they appear to remain
philosophical about things. This is a fascinating look at a completely different
way of life. (English subtitles.)
