The film was inspired by the great strike of education workers in Croatia in 2019.The film "The Woman with the Rubber Gloves" is a contemporary social drama about an individual and a system in whose introspection he is invisible and silent, so, listening only to the loud majority made up of different characters, it bypasses, forgets, and does not notice him. At the center is the school cleaner Mirna, who, while in her collective people strike for an increase in their material rights, patiently and devotedly makes the days of teachers-strikers easier by making them coffee and performing other everyday activities related to her workplace. Outside the school corridors, she is the wife of a husband with a violent nature and a heavy hand who sometimes can 'seal' a few marks on Mirna's face. She is also a mother whose children go abroad in search of a better life, as well as the daughter of a seriously ill immobile old woman. This woman carries all that on her back and pushes her stone of life in front of her as best she knows how. Mirna is not just a school cleaner; life requires her to be an everyday confessor to herself, who in her own confessions, reassessments, falls, weaknesses will have to draw strength for a new day, new confrontations with the system, husband, children, infirm mother. Because all of them need Mirna. To make them coffee, clean the work area, endure marital insults, care as a mother, or fluff her sick mother's pillow. In her life, the lives of many are mirrored, and many will recognize themselves. They will recognize themselves in their struggle with the system of injustice or the injustice of the system, to which all Mirnas are invisible. And their silence, their muteness, powerlessness after an unwon battle with the system should be a voice for that same system. And Mirna does not go through life 'in gloves'.
