The Bulgarian town of Varshets is a town without women. The men look
after the children, cook, do the washing and… wait for money from their
wives, who work abroad. Many of the women work as "badante“ in Italy,
taking care of sick or elderly.
The social structure of Varshetz is changing and these transformations,
dramatic or funny, are witnessed everywhere: in the pubs, in the families,
within the brass band and at the bus station, when the women come back home once a year for a holiday.
