Overview
A 19-year-old woman is killed by a bullet intended for her father in the tragic culmination of a bitter family feud between her father and his cousin, who is now imprisoned for murder. Or is her death just another twist in a saga of blood revenge? In the Albanian mountains, the ancient tribal law Kanun rules, and even though the killer is behind bars, the last word in the case has not been spoken. Religious and legal authorities - like the families involved - have their own powerful and conflicting interests in the controversial law, which is a taboo both in church and modern society. The question, however, is if the young womanโs father can find the faith to not only forgive his cousin, but also reconcile himself with him and break the vicious circle once and for all? Marija Zidarโs epic drama was filmed over 5 years in an obstinate patriarchal world, on the threshold of modern times. A mountain western from the old world, from the stuff of antique tragedies.

[Docsbcn '22] A powerful debut that confronts official laws, religion and tradition in Albania. The coexistence between the Christian religion and the Kanun code is one of the most interesting aspects of the film, between the forgiveness and revenge that archaic laws allow. But above all, the director's attention to the faces of women stands out, passive witnesses who are denied participation in the main decisions.
