The Kanun, Communism and Albanian women come together in a feature film by Bujar Alimani.
The "Albanian Virgin" deals with the fate of a woman, and some of them, in north Albania, during communism, revealing the inevitable destination between blood feuds and the need to rebel.
"This film is an anthem for women not in the sense of the strength it takes to become a man, but in humanism and fragility. It’s a movie about love actually. "Love is not only eroticism, but human love that a woman or a man can give", says director Bujar Alimani.
Luana decides to become a man to avoid marrying a murderer and take revenge on her father, sacrificing her life as a woman of rocking a cradle.
Actress Rina Krasniqi says that “such autochthonous Albanian stories, which in essence are painful, require great sacrifice and generate sincere emotion. These are stories of Albanian mothers, wives, and sisters whose voices are often not heard. "While the pillars of Albanian families are women."
