Handling:
Hver januar i en lille Nordmakedonsk by smider den lokale præst et trækors i floden, og byens mænd springer i vandet efter det. Held og succes vil nemlig følge den, der fanger korset resten af hans dage. Ved et tilfælde ender Petrunya i vandet og griber korset til de mange mænds store vrede. Hvor vover en kvinde at deltage i deres tradition? Folk i lokalsamfundet, kirken, politiet og ikke mindst Petrunyas forældre reagerer vidt forskelligt. Helvede bryder løs, men Petrunya står fast: Hun greb korset, og guderne skal vide, at hun kan bruge lidt held.
Plot (English):
Every January in a small town in North Macedonia, the high priest throws a cross into the local waters, while dozens of men charge for it. The one who finds the cross is believed to gain overall good fortune and prosperity. An unemployed single young woman Petrunija jumps into the water and catches the cross. In this conservative setting, her competitors feel they have every right to be furious: a woman dared to compete and achieve what they failed to succeed in. Petrunija insists that she is the winner and refuses to return the cross.
