Synopsis:

Dragan, Zoran, and Rodoljub Jankovic live in Zabrdje, a womanless village in southern Serbia. These three brothers represent nearly half of the village population. If the three brothers remain single, the village will disappear. Their plan is to marry women willing to put up with the tough living conditions in Zabrdje, but they have had no luck convincing neighboring Serbian women to join them. In nearby Albania, the situation is versed. With all the men leaving to work in Greece, a predominately female population remains, living in surprisingly similar conditions to those of our brothers - no running water, no telephone lines, no shoulder to lean on. For Zoran and Dragan, Albania is the only place to find brides.
