Village Without Women

Srđan Šarenac
Three brothers live in a small village with no women, situated high in the mountains of southern Serbia, close to the border with Kosovo. Their greatest desire is to find brides. They have already tried, unsuccessfully, in nearby Serbian villages, but no local woman is willing to live on the top of a mountain.
