Christmas Thieves poster
NR

Once upon a time... a long time ago... I was raised in a suitcase. I was lying in the suitcase and could only see the sky. White clouds and endless blue surrounded me. Sometimes the clouds quietly passed by me and I sank into their whiteness, and sometimes they turned into dragons and began to fight in the sky, advancing towards each other, grappling, their heads fell in battle, but in their place others immediately grew, and blue showed through their wounds...

Dona, Lukrecie and Tana - three women of different origins and destinies, whose stories unfold at different times. The tale of the Romany woman Dona begins in the 1960s. The only assets this beautiful and vital woman has are her three children fathered by different men. In order to secure a livelihood for them, she moves in with an older, but disabled man, who turns out to be a pervert. Ten years later, the ambitious Lukrecie is trying to avoid employment in the village. After she becomes pregnant by a prospective suitor, she meets an attractive young man who offers her a life abroad, something she had always dreamed of. Lukrecie resolves her situation in the most appalling way. Tana, the wife of a prosperous businessman, vainly longs to have a child. On the advice of a friend, she goes off to a spa, whose miraculous reputation is attributable to a skillful masseur. Her husband, however, is unmoved by the joyful news.
