Synopsis
Hatixhe and Shaban, a couple in their 40s, live in a village in Kosovo with three daughters and share the household with Shaban’s two brothers and their mother. They make a living with 12 cows until one day the cows get stolen by Shaban's brother. They are forced to move to Pristina, looking for work and stay. A journey into a hyper-capitalist society begins.
Director
Director's statement
For me, this story is about integrity and dignity. Hatixhe and Shaban are fighting for their sense of self-worth, yet they face the growing threat of disappearing in a society where money seems to be the only constant. Visar Morina
