It's time for the next reveal!
The second film is....
SECOND CHANCE
(2019)
Second Chance interweaves three stories of three women living in the same apartment complex, creating a kaleidoscopic observation of the unique experience of being a mother and the self-sacrifice involved in bringing life into this world. Each one of these women is trying to find meaning in her existence during the absurd and meaningless times on the verge of civil war in Macedonia. Each of them faces their own demons while trying to preserve their humanity. Written by Ognen Georgievski and directed by Marija Dzidzeva.
This film was originally called 'Sacrifice'.
