Original title: Marina Kuvaitseva ja üksildased naised

Documentary Duration 27:00

Marina Kuvaitseva is a forty-year-old self-confident and independent woman who leads a folk music ensemble "Suprjaki" in Narva, Estonia. The singers of Marina's ensemble are lonely, educated women who do not want to live together with men who are less intelligent than themselves or who drink too much. People of Narva do not know who they are or where they belong to. Through folk music the women try to contact their roots, to entertain themselves and to find balance in their lives.
