The Sweetness of Bitter Things

In rural Macedonia, Dora, a middle-aged doctor, has built her life around duty – to her distant husband, troubled daughter, and ailing mother. When an injured young woman is brought into her home, caring for her awakens a desire Dora has suppressed for decades. Their growing intimacy becomes a secret affair, slowly destabilising the life she has worked so hard to preserve.
