Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film takes place in a small mining town in Serbia and focuses on an illiterate village woman, Petrija, whose life story is interconnected with the fates of the three men she loved. With the help of the photographs she collected through the years she remembers her youth, starting with her first husband, a well-off farmer whom she married just before the Second World War. After the death of their second child he sent her away believing that she brought bad luck. With the end of the war, Petrija started a new life, working in the local inn, whose owner, good-hearted Ljubiša, took care of her. Petrija felt respect for him rather than passionate love and it was a regular customer miner Misa, who won Petrija’s heart. They led a simple and harmonious life for several years until Misa had an accident in the mine which left him lame. He started drinking heavily and eventually ended up in the hospital and died. The mine and the local train station were soon closed, but Petrija keeps her hope and faith in life, occasionally talking to Misa’s ghost and calmly waiting for her time to “go.”
