Mothers and truck drivers

Fates of five young women, and their relationship with men and children, and their relationship with their bodies and the environment around them, their opinions and experiences differed, and the past left big marks on each of their present. Each of the five heroines has an influential and complex relationship with their mothers. Five stories, three of which take place in Bratislava, Slovakia, and two in Turin, Italy. The stories are loosely connected by a foundation of illness and fear. Each of the five heroines tries futilely to integrate into normal life. The stories go beyond the horizon of daily worries, and the conversations of the heroines become supplication to emptiness and nothingness, as a result of the external world's neglect and indifference towards them.
