Fabulous FairiesMarko Jeftić (RS)

Documentary film, 2008

Meri Galevska, resident of a retirement home in Belgrade, has founded a musical ensemble in honour of her deceased husband, a composer. Her sextet comprises six ladies who differ in both characters and musical abilities. The film gives an insight into the lives of the members of the sextet, the problems that bother persons of their age, as well as a modicum of humour about life. At the age of 85, Meri has decided to go on tour with her Fabulous Fairies. There are many challenges for them to face, but there is also the iron will of one woman, determined to succeed in spite of everything.
