The beauty of vice

Genre:
Social film

Director:
Zivko Nikolic

Short description:
In remote Montenegrian villages, it is a custom that a husband kills his wife with a hammer over a loaf of bread, if she is proven unfaithful. In such environment, a young married couple lives, bound for eternal fidelity. They live in poverty, and gladly accept an invitation from a man who left for the sea coast, in search for easy money, to follow his example. He gets a job in saltwork factory, and she starts to work as a cleaning lady in nudist camp. Traditionally brought up, she is terrified with nudity, especially when she is cleaning the apartment of two young foreigners who are amused by her confusion. Under their influence, she starts freeing her chained sensuality.
