THE MOON AND OTHER LOVERS
synopsis
Hanna is a small woman with a strong will to live, who is dreaming of a better future and of a lifechanging relationship. When the cosmetics factory where she works goes bankrupt and is about to be blown up, all she manages to save at the last moment are a few boxes of perfume bottles. But for Hanna life goes on.
