The central character is Irena, a chemical engineer who strives to develop a method for preserving ink on old photographs. She wants to use it to preserve the letters that her grandmother wrote from Alexandria, where she went in search of work.  Irena comes into conflict with her husband and even her own mother because her work demands a lot of time and energy.  Her mother believes that a wife should always listen to her husband. In spite of all the difficulties Irena perseveres with her work and beliefs, aiming to prove that times have changed and a woman can have family and a successful career.

Ink Tips was produced by Igor Pediček and the production company Casablanca (www.casablanca.si) and coproduced by RTV Slovenija (www.rtvslo.si). The film received the Eurowistdom (European Women in Science and Technology on Message) support of the EU.
