The Albanian Virgin

Bujar Alimani | Albania | 2021 | 123 min | Albanian | d.s.

An interesting and moving variation on the Romeo & Juliet theme. The story is set in a small community in a remote country: Albania in 1958. Centuries-old traditions dominate daily life. Luana, the daughter of a respected man, and Agim, the son of traitors exiled by the communists, have known each other since childhood.

Despite these adverse circumstances, the two maintain their friendship. As Luana learns to read
from Agim, she also develops her own identity and self-respect. With the knowledge and self-esteem she gains, she will make every effort to live her own life, free from all stifling conventions.
