God Exists, Her Name Is Petrunya

In a small Macedonian town, a young woman named Petrunya disrupts a traditional religious ceremony by retrieving a cross thrown into the river, a ritual typically reserved for men. This act of defiance challenges societal norms and sparks a media frenzy, as Petrunya stands her ground against the patriarchal structures. Directed by Teona Strugar Mitevska, the film explores themes of gender inequality and social justice with a sharp, satirical edge. The movie was well-received at various film festivals and can be viewed on Soap2day for free.
