Hive

The film is beautifully made, has a perfect pace, is well acted and tells not only the story of a woman in Kosovo, but one that can be applied to many women in the workplace or society around the globe. I truly hope the movie gets out to a larger audience while I had the chance to watch it at the Zurich Film Festival.

Don't get me wrong, this movie is filled with action but not in the classic sense. It's a bit slow moving but it certainly got me hooked from the beginning. It's about a family who's struggling to make ends meet after war. It's also a film about women who try to help eachother. The men in the film is stuck in there ways but if you look closely there are rays of hope shining through. I gave it an 8 but as a debut this is a sensation. If you're into films with Segal or Van Damme Don't watch this.

An excellent Oscar submission from Kosovo- "Hive" tells the true story of Fahrije Hoti: a woman who suffered greatly, losing her husband in the Kosovo war and fighting for financial independence and security for herself and her family.

Fahritje and her village neighbors struggle together to get up from adversity, directly eliminating the stigma of weak women who only depended on the role of men. Greatly acted and directed, the film tells the story of mothers who are strong and mentally steel. The real Wonder Women.

The beautiful rhyme grandpa was humming in the car.. was beautiful.. anyone knows ?

I wonder if Fahriye cried because It was Indeed her husband's clothes yet she couldn't except this or Indeed her husband's clothes yet she couldn't except this or they were really Not her husband's clothes And she understood did she would continue to suffer in the unknown faith and time..

real drama real life real people real feelings, and the strength of women, despite all the annoying ignorance of men in the earth..

Basholli did a good job playing with Fahriye's facial expression, which has been completely neutral very long... until she felt productive and able to stand up..

Based on the true story of Fahrije Hoti & other widows residing in Krusha e Madhe during the 1999 Kosovo war, and the killings of village males by Serb forces. Afterwards males in the community tried to impose cultural traditional restrictions on female independence. But, Fahrije & other, mostly war widowed, women chose independence. One of which was starting their own business of making Krusha Ajvar, a red pepper spread, now sold in many countries.
