Turmoil & Love
Albania has often been overlooked. This movie enlightens and informs, by telling one small but emotional story. It is a story of pain intertwined with a story of love. Imagine an Albainan Shakespearean story.
I was born in the United States of America. I have been sheltered living the "good life". I have not seen or experienced life under dictatorship. My history classes did not inform such details, of beautiful Albania. I was unaware these tragedies existed.
This movie is a glimpse into the lives of the Albanian people and how they survived or died. The story gives an account of one family who seemed to have a better life than most Albanians. However, their better life and knowledge of the outside world has landed them captured and living a world of struggle.
My heart emotionally cried out for this family. To know their struggles and loss of everything in life. I can not fathom the life they endured. Throughout the movie tears freely rolled down my face. This movie is not only informative but heartfelt and emotional.
A depiction of a real struggle but in the midst love does abound. It is evident the young couple's love could never be unified. As a viewer, I felt the heartbreak and I felt the love that existed. The ending gave a sense of peace with the young boy returning to that fateful place, of conception.
All the actors were top notch. A performance given as well or better than any top Hollywood actor. Klodian Hoxha's character was on point. He delivered the reality of how authority was portrayed, used and abused. I felt the underlying anger of those made to submit, to his character.
I loved the details of the costumes and props. It was a very authentic representation. I felt I stepped back in time.
Overall feelings of the movie: Authentic Emotional Heartfelt Informative Realistic Success
Thank you for the glimpse into Albania. I would love to learn more. Be blessed beyond measure.
