The feature-length documentary film by Eva Štefankovičová was created at the turn of the ‘80s and ‘90s, and thus at the turn of two social establishments. It talks about the status of women in the then society, compiled from current statements of women from different social strata. They talk about the social security of women-mothers, the problems of lonely mothers and the ideas about the position of women in a newly-formed society.
