The film is about the life of Stana Cerović from Šavnik, Montenegro, probably the last living woman playing a role of man in the Balkans. As a direct descendant of Novica Cerović, famous Montenegrin hero of the fight against Turks, she has had a very difficult task of preserving the line of the family of which Montenegro is proud of even today. As the youngest of five daughters, she was raised like a son in order to preserve the family name. Such women are traditionally called ostanice (‘the last ones’).
