Kosovar evening, with director

A nine-year-old boy raised in a house full of women is determined to find his missing father. The five women he shares a home with, meanwhile, carry the burdens of their own wartime traumas, finding common ground in the stories, songs and jokes they share. But even in a house bursting with life and laughter, the country’s dark history of ethnic tension and violence threatens to rise to the surface - bringing with it painful memories and secrets long buried in the past.

This feature-film debut of Kosovo’s female director Lendita Zeqiraj is both a powerful coming-of-age story and a very well observed and engaging slice of life in contemporary Kosovo society with some strong lead actors’ performances.
