Tre donne in Europa

Three Women in Europe

Country: Italy

Year: 2004

Duration: 70

Europe was opening up toward East and ten countries, once belonging to a political clashing block, was finding their European roots. Many of them had never abandoned them even if forced to adapt it. This documentary offers a portrait of daily life in these countries through women's eyes, while trying to discover its hidden but ordinary aspects, its usual but less clear sides. In Hungary we meet a woman who works as financial advisor; in Poland a ski teacher in a very renown place; in Latvia a puppet-designer for animation films.
