Twenty years ago, in the village of Kush on the mountainside of Kosovo, a brutal massacre took the lives of many local men, and many people are still missing. Farley, who took care of her two children and her father-in-law on her own, shouldered the family's livelihood. Years after her husband disappeared, she decided to start a business with a group of women in a similar situation in the town and strive for financial independence by making delicious homemade red pepper sauce. In this misogynistic society with conservative folk customs and full of patriarchal ideology, small town residents with malicious intentions are always gossiping behind their backs and even doing evil things. With the emotional vacuum left by her husband's sudden disappearance, can Farley stick to her faith, practice herself with her partners, and find the meaning of continuing to live? Adapted from the stories of real people, Kosovo's emerging director focuses on the women who experienced the pain of the Yugoslav civil war and the resilience and courage they showed in facing life. The lens delicately and realistically outlines the conflicts and inner struggles of the protagonist in different social roles such as mother, wife, daughter-in-law, and entrepreneur. Facing the painful history behind her and the unknown future ahead, it shows the moving power of women.
