In Albania’s post-communist landscape, a lonely mother, Mira, and her troubled teenage son, Toni, struggle through an outbreak of civil violence that tears their East European nation apart. A film about transition – not only between different societies and political regimes, but also between human emotions – inspired by the filmmaker’s childhood memories of a turbulent era, and partly shot in Thessaloniki, a city that sheds its recognizable winter light on a sensitive story of family bonds and unfamiliar events.
