| Summary: | Verzio FF
The Bulgarian town of Varshets is the site of a staggering social experiment. Many of its women work as "badanti" in Italy, taking care of elderly and ill people. The social structure of Varshets is changing and the transformations — some dramatic, others humorous — are everywhere: in the pubs, the families, in the local brass band. The men look after the children, do the cooking and the washing and wait for money from their wives. A film about the new realities in today's Europe, The Town of Badante Women tells the story of a small town transformed through the role its women play on the growing market for care-giving services across the continent. |
