DAUGHTERS OF EUROPE is a road movie set on long-distance buses, highways, and bus terminals across a seemingly borderless Europe. A cinematic documentary that captures kaleidoscopic snapshots of the lives of very different women, their experiences, and their encounters. 

The film reveals the backbone of our society—a female sociogram of Europe, of collective cohesion, solidarity, and the strength of women. 

with: Heike ter Holt, Svenja Hofmann, Krystyna Hamal, Liudmyla Shehukina, Katia Bortnik, and Zlata Hamal
