Fahrije’s hus­band has been con­side­red miss­ing sin­ce the end of the war – like so many other men from her vil­la­ge in rural Kosovo. When she deci­des one day to get her dri­ver­’s licen­se so she can sell her home­ma­de sau­ces in town, she imme­dia­te­ly faces oppo­si­ti­on from her con­ser­va­ti­ve, patri­ar­chal vil­la­ge. Fahrije, howe­ver, is not inti­mi­da­ted and soon other women dare to help her in this revo­lu­tio­na­ry ven­ture. The film, which won three awards at Sundance, tells the sto­ry of a dar­ing woman who, against all the odds, builds a new exis­tence for hers­elf and other women.
