In rural Macedonia, Dora, a middle-aged doctor, has built her life around duty – to her distant husband, troubled daughter, and ailing mother. When an injured young woman is brought into her home, caring for her awakens a desire Dora has suppressed for decades. Their growing intimacy becomes a secret affair, slowly destabilising the life she has worked so hard to preserve.
The Sweetness of Bitter Things was directed by Andrey Volkashin.
The Sweetness of Bitter Things runs for 1h 44min, and was released in 2026.
