RECONCILIATION
by Marija Zidar
synopsis
A 19-year-old girl is killed in a bitter family feud In the Albanian highlands. Her father is torn by the pressures from a local bishop and an NGO chairman from the capital, not only to forgive the imprisoned killer and his family, as a Christian, but to reconcile with them - as the age-old tribal code, Kanun, once required. A poignant and insightful account of a patriarchal society caught between a lingering past and a precarious present.
