The film speaks about the lacemaking tradition in the Zagorje region, and its torch-bearers - the local women.

Another in the series of Vlatka Vorkapić’s documentaries about Croatian lacemakers, the film speaks about the lacemaking tradition in the town of Lepoglava, in the Zagorje region, and its torch-bearers - the local women. Lepoglava lace was modeled on the Brussels lace, and its artistry was not passed down through generations but rather taught at a lacing school which even today still exists in Lepoglava.
