The saint
Shenjtorja
Synopsis
The film tells the story of an impossible love story in the mid-1980s in Albania, during the period of changes in the Socialist Camp of the Eastern Bloc and is based on a story of the same name by Teodor Keko. In it, a piece of life is cut off from two young people with dreams, energy, integrity, who complement each other very well but the society in which they live does not accept this relationship. The film seeks to enter the absurd psychology of the time in which these two individuals stand gracefully. The couple, who temporarily takes on the attribute of a landmark, will become the 'polar star' of Gon, who discovers through her, his choices. A meeting after many years between them reopens not too distant wounds of Albanian society.
