Joshua Marston travels a long way to Albania with his second feature film. The story of a family blood feud illustrates relations between the fading traditions and the lifestyle of the new generation. Seventeen-year-old Nik's family is troubled by a quarrel for territory with their neighbor. The mutual conflict escalates to extremes: The father is accused of murdering the neighbor and has to go into hiding. However, the blame also falls on Nik and his sister, Rudina. Nik is being absorbed by the isolation and never-ending anger, and he decides to put an end to the blood feud – even if he dies trying. (Febiofest)

An exemplary premise that shows exactly what my father was talking about when he was talking about Albania or Macedonia. The interesting thing is that it was an American director who was able to portray the fiery Albanians to perfection. It is unusual and that’s why the movie should get more attention. Just be prepared that even though the movie was made in 2011 it looks like it was filmed in 1991.
