Petrunya, an educated woman in her thirties, can’t find work and still lives with her parents. Fortune smiles upon her, at least during a traditional ritual – but one, unfortunately, intended for local men.

An ironic comedy set in town of Štip in North Macedonia. On the Feast of the Epiphany, a local priest throws a wooden cross into a river. The man who fishes it out, according to tradition, will have good luck all year. But to everyone’s dismay, it’s a thirty-something woman, Petrunya, who retrieves the cross. She’s been unlucky all her life, but this act causes a scandal in the conservative society.
