Petrunya is 31; has studied history, a subject that no one in Macedonia where she lives seems to need. One day, on her way home, she sees an Orthodox ceremony in the streets. It is Epiphany and, like every year, the young men of the city are diving for the holy cross that the priest has thrown into the icy river. This time, Petrunya is quicker than everyone else and ends up holding the trophy aloft for the TV cameras. For one whole day and one night, she will defend the cross, accompanied by much public commotion and against the closed ranks of the male world.
