Synopsis:
At the end of his life, Milivoje (85) lives alone on his family's ancestral estate in a remote mountain village in Montenegro, clinging to a disappearing world. His life has been defined by the Balkan tradition of the virdžina: when a family had no male heir, a daughter was declared a man to preserve the family name and inherit its land. As the village gives way to investors building a luxury ski resort, Milivoje alone refuses to sell. To him the land is not property but the family's identity, and only a man can inherit it. Knowing he is running out of time, he summons his relatives from Belgrade, expecting their son Stefan to become his heir. Instead, Mila (24) arrives from Berlin. Formerly known as Stefan, she is a trans woman: intelligent, witty and quietly vulnerable, she embodies everything Milivoje rejects. When construction of the new ski resort cuts off the village's only road, Mila and Milivoje are trapped together, clashing over identity, family, faith and inheritance while investors grow determined to force him off his land. After Milivoje suffers a heart attack, Mila uncovers the secret he has hidden all his life: he is the last virdžina, born a woman and forced to live as a man to preserve the family line. What begins as mutual rejection becomes mutual recognition. Before dying, Milivoje entrusts the estate to Mila, bringing an end to a tradition built on sacrifice.
