She Grazed Horses on Concrete

She Grazed Horses on Concrete Slovak Psla kone na betne is a film which lays out serious topics that include a womans capacity to hold her own in society, sexual mores, and abortion, and balances them with comedy and irony in proportions that instantly made it one of the biggest domestic blockbusters in Slovak cinema.
