God Exists, Her Name Is Petrunya

In Stip, a small town in Macedonia, every January the local priest throws a wooden cross into the river and hundreds of men dive after it. Good fortune and prosperity are guaranteed to the man who retrieves it. This time, Petrunya dives into the water on a whim and manages to grab the cross before the others. Her competitors are furious - how dare a woman take part in their ritual? All hell breaks loose, but Petrunya holds her ground. She won her cross and will not give it up.
A gift you never stop unwrapping.
_God Exists, Her Name is Petrunija_ is a Macedonian film about a woman who steps out onto the ledge of her routine and enjoys the view she discovers there. Feminist, anti-church, anti-authoritarian, _God Exists..._ is that breath of fresh air you get when you step out of your life and onto the ledge. Thank Petrunija for films like these.
