North Macedonia has chosen Sisterhood to represent it in the 2022 Oscars’ International Feature race. From writer-director Dina Duma, the drama tells the story of inseparable teenage girls whose friendship takes an unexpected turn when they’re involved in the accidental death of a classmate.

“The country received its second [International Feature] nomination in 2020 for Tamara Koteska and Ljubomir Stefanov’s Honeyland, which also received a nod in best documentary,” Screen Daily writes. “Honeyland,” a portrait of the last woman working as a wild beekeeper in Europe, landed honors at Sundance Film Festival as well.

The 2022 Oscars are scheduled to take place March 27.
