Vetka is a 40-year-old woman, a single mother of two, without permanent employment. Her husband died, and she, along with her 15-year-old son Simcho and 3-year-old Bube, live in a deliberately hidden hut. They wash cars, collect old things from containers, barely eat. A new complex of buildings will be built on the land where their hut is located. Everything is destroyed, they remain on the street.

Traditionally nomadic shepherds, the Aromanian or Vlach people are an ethnic group with a Latin-based language who can be found in different parts of the Balkans. CÁIMÒ, meaning ‘BITTER REGRET’, follows one of the few remaining Aromanian families still living in a village in eastern Macedonia.

Jan is the type of romantic malcontent who can't find rest, who continually hurts people and gets hurt himself. This dark, raw and uncompromising Macedonian film presents a gloomy testimony of the degradation of the life of the individual and society as a whole.
