Soltana (1988)

The Macedonian Soltana is the last original inhabitant of Europe. She still remembers the first automobile: she thought it was a terrible monster. She is neither capable of reading nor writing. At the age of 18, her family takes her to Austria, where she has the opportunity to marry a rich man. No use to think twice about it - Soltana obeys. As a woman, she says, she has no alternative.
In Soltana's life no big events took place. But those who look closely are bound to discover tremendous openness and vitality in the small steps of her life.
