I haven't seen a good albanian movie the last 10+ years and I was skeptical at first when I bought the ticket but..uauu!

Such a great,exceptional movie! The leading actress was amazing! The directing,music, everything was perfect and so real told! I strongly suggest seen it!

Such a powerful message! Well done👏🏼👏🏼

Important (true) story of the painful aknowledgement of a husband lost to an unjust war and an equally painful struggle to be respected and allowed to work (being a woman) for the sake of one's family. Well played and well directed, not sure though why this film won the Sundance Festival as best international film.

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.

Totally worth seeing. The strength, hardship, tolerance, stubbornness and dignity, integrity of these women fighting for whatever little money, the main character struggling to put food on the table, and being labeled a traitor! It's outrageous how the men sitting in their cafes doing nothing don't accept her willingness to work, so hard! And her children growing up in this environment one day they'll understand the work their mother proudly soldiered on for them. Knowing full well her husband wasn't coming back. Damn the war, all the pointless killings of men women children, the old the young, the unborn, such love and care comes out in the end, for the power of love will eventually prevail...xx.

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..
