Beautiful touching movie exploring PTSD and the crimes that happened in Kosovo. Amazing performances by the lead and the man who played her husband, you can't help but feel for these characters. Makes you grateful and thankful if you are one who have never had to experience the crimes of war and understand what those who went through this time dealt with.

Heartbreaking movie! Nothing better than this Movies shows the postwar traumatic lives , mixed with tradition! The main Role , Lume , she plays in a perfect way! A solid 10/10!

This movie brilliantly deals with war traumas, but in a new, peaceful, environment. At least peaceful on the outside. You will definitely learn what it feels like to lose a child, by gun violence, in front of your eyes and being expected to live a normal live after that. You'll learn how this turns to what the villagers would describe as "black magic", and the doctors as hallucinations (etc.) because of severe PTSD. You'll get a reassurance that this could happen in real life, because it ACTUALLY IS based on real life events. You get to see how "witchcraft" only makes thing worse and how things could have gone better for the characters' lives, if psychiatrists were involved. You also get to see some albanian culture touch about the way albanian societies and families function, especially how they used to function immediately post-war. You also get to feel SO much emotion, just wait for the end...

It has been a month since I saw this movie, however I am still thinking about it. It gave me so many emotions, especially considering the fact that it represents a reality for many Kosovan families living in rural areas. The last scene made me cry, and I never cry!!!

Definitely the best albanian movie so far. I love it
