What does it take to be truly Slovenian in the U.S.? Is it perfecting grandma's strudel recipe, dancing the polka, teaching children Slovenian songs, or something deeper? Women in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York and Chicago tell about the joys and challenges of expressing their Slovenian identity. Witty observations and moving stories create a memorable movie about four generations of women and how they stay "100% Slovenian" when Slovenia is only a distant memory.
