THE BALLAD OF PIARGY (in-cinema)

A story of a young woman, Juliša, who marries the son of the richest landowner in the village but does not resist her father-in-law’s violent seduction and inadvertently finds herself in the middle of a rough love triangle. Piargy is a symbol of modern Sodom and Gomorrah, a mirror of the distorted morals of the society. At the same time, it is a naturalistic metaphor for the subordinate position of women in the patriarchal society. 

Please note, this film contains graphic and sensitive subject matter and is not recommended for viewers under the age of 18.

All films at CEFF are presented in their original language with English subtitles.
