'The Marriage' by Blerta Zeqiri Feb. 18th Sunday - 17:00 - CinemaxX 2
'The wedding is only two weeks away. Anita and Bekim are adding the final touches to their big day. Despite expecting news from Anita's parents, declared missing since 1999 Kosovar War, and having to deal with Bekim's controlling family, the couple seems to manage somehow with the preparations. But when Nol, Bekim's secret ex-gay-lover, returns unexpectedly from aboard, the situation becomes complicated, especially since Bekim realizes the latter is still in love with him. Inevitably, the wedding banquet becomes loaded with tension as the unusual love triangle starts to unravel.'
'Return' by Kastriot Abdyli will be screened on Feb. 18th Sunday - 14:00 - Zoo Palast Club B
’This contemporary story takes place in a Balkan village where the old and the new, traditional and modern, eastern and western, all intertwine. Ilir, a young Albanian man who has migrated from Macedonia to France, has decided to marry a French woman by the name of Sabine (perhaps out of love, but perhaps also to secure his residence permit). Because of legal issues, he must first return to his native village. This seems like a great opportunity for him to finally see his family after seven years of absence, and for Sabine to learn more about her future husband’s roots. However, their surprise visit quickly turns sour when Ilir’s father, a traditional old man, realizes that his son has returned only to marry a foreign woman and then leave again, thus breaking the promise he once made to a girl from their village.’
