Story about seven women who escape from a camp and try to get a job and to put their lives together. They start by visiting old friends who aren't very friendly. Hardships follow. This is a classic social drama about no ups and plenty downs for seven young women who try to make it on their own, doing everything from factory work to smuggling. Some of most talented (and beautiful) actresses play together in this movie, like Mirjana Karanovic, Tanja Boskovic, Dara Dzokic. If you like tragic social dramas you'll like this, if not for the quality of the story, then for the strong performances. This is classified as a rollicking comedy in Yugoslavian territories, despite having a story dealing with a realistic and horrifying catalogue of woes. In the film, seven women friends have grown tired of working for a farmer who refuses to pay their wages. They steal one of his tractors to go into town. There, they employ a black-market labor operative to help them find work in Munich. He takes their money and passports to try and help them do just this but winds up arrested before he can do anything to help them. The women are then forced to go through a local health exam to be passed as eligible for work, and after that, they somehow pull through, despite a series of rapes, pregnancies, and beatings. When they finally do get a job together at a new factory, they discover that the factory has no access to raw materials and will shortly be shutting down.
