Synopsis
Edna is a short-animated film inspired by the refugee crisis, where Macedonia played the unfortunate role of a transit country. In its essence, it is a love story set in very unusual circumstances, told in a very abstract and poetic manner. The film is dedicated to great number of women activists who fought for basic human right – right to exist.
