[waves crashing]

[gentle acoustic music]

[camera shutter clicks]

[adventure music playing]

- You still love me? - I love you even more now.

[chuckles]

Look how you kissed me!

I was afraid of mosquitoes, I was somewhere else.

As cinematographer, I think the shot should've been longer.

Much longer, over one minute, no need to cut, cut!

[phone vibrating]

It's the Venice Festival selector.

Talk to him!

[in Italian] Hello, Stefano. I'm in the cinema.

[gunshot]

Don't touch my daughter, asshole!

Come to Mommy!

I warned you not to go with him!

[whispering] Thanks, how did you like the movie?

I'll kill you!

During the shoot, I didn't understand a thing.

Now I get it. Beautiful!

I'll kill you! You dishonored us!

[gunshot]

[actors speaking on film]

Give me two minutes.

Sorry.

My new shoes!

[gunshot]

[woman screaming]

What a stupid movie.

So are we selected for the Venice Festival?

Really? Truly? Thanks, Stefano.

Thank you! Thank you!

You sure?

Yes, I'm very happy! My friend here too!

Send the e-mail invite. Thanks.

Excuse my Italian, Stefano.

Thanks so much and say hello to the whole world! [chuckles]

We'll see you in Venice. Thank you!

[laughing]

- Congratulations! - Congratulations to you too.

[emotive piano music]

This was the best news of my entire career.

Even when you became a director in the Kinostudio?

That was nothing. [chuckles]

Now I'm listed with famous actors and directors from the world over.

You'll become an acclaimed cinematographer.

Where can you go without me? [laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

[bell tolls]

I need your attention.

I want to share some great news that made us very happy.

The film you just saw has been selected

by the prestigious Venice Film Festival.

[applause]

Congratulations! You made us so proud!

This is a very important day for us.

The Venice Festival is a big achievement for Albanian culture.

When I was asked to be minister of culture, I wasn't so sure.

But I had a dream. I worked night and day to achieve my goal that

Albanian cinema should travel the world and win prizes. Why not?

Can you grab my hand, so this idiot knows that you are married to me?

There's another person who helps in my work: our Prime Minister.

He supports me and all cultural projects in Albania.

So let's thank him today even though he's not here with us.

Yes or no?

[applause]

I also thank the crew that made the movie,

our great actor Mr. Vani and the director Kastriot.

[applause]

Thank you, Madam Minister. But I'm the director of photography.

- The actor and director is Vani. - Sorry, my mistake.

Applause

[applause]

Thank you.

I'd like to share this emotional moment with my loved ones,

my wife and daughter.

Unfortunately, they're not with me today.

One is watching me from the sky above.

[melancholy music]

Happy for my success but also sad she can't be here with me.

My daughter Klea is making me prouder every single day.

She's an excellent medical student in Venice.

If I'm honored with any Venice Festival award,

I'll dedicate it to her, so she can be proud of me,

as I am of her. Thank you.

[applause]

Cheers!

[indistinct chatter]

[ship horn honks]

Why take a ferry? The festival offered to pay for a plane.

- I'm scared of planes. - [seagulls squawking]

I don't like these adventures at all.

Can we just enjoy the silence of this night?

[ship horn honks]

[gentle music]

[dance music playing]

[glasses clink]

The Kinostudio is back! So many films we made!

Tell them who I was.

In the old Kinostudio,

he kept everyone in line. No one dared talk back.

[laughs] Oh God, I missed you!

I love you so much. You're my brother!

Can I come to Venice with you?

[laughs]

In the next studio, they do 'wrestling' movies.

They screw!

Seriously?

What do you think I do here? I don't need their euros.

I have three lovers there. Italians! Two meters tall!

[glasses clink]

We were all talented, but he had a special thing for communist movies.

And you made democratic movies?

I mean to say he had a soft spot for communist secretaries.

[laughing]

So I'm the one who liked communist party movies?

[chuckles] I'm joking.

A joke? First, it's not something to joke about.

Second, it's not the right moment to joke.

Third, how dare you say this! You were just an actor.

So you have sex with porn stars?

What else, play dominoes? They're fantastic!

How are they?

One is tall and blonde, the other is short.

She has big boobies and red hair. Amazing!

Enough now.

Shame on you, asshole!

So make a movie! It's been 100 years.

No one cares about the past.

Even today, I can make better movies than you!

Do it with the toys you have here!

With puppets, I'd do better. I was the best director!

Here, I'm the puppet master!

Who's better at sex?

The short one. She has a big butt, drives me crazy.

Who's there now?

They're always open. But if we go, we get fined.

But I'm going crazy!

Take it! Money, money, money! What do you have?

1,760 euros per month and you have nothing!

But you have a film, you bastard! A film!

[dance music playing]

Kaci, will you take me to Venice?

In your dreams.

- Who's driving? - I am.

Take the keys. Give it back in one piece.

Why take this toy to Venice? We'll look like shit!

- Let's borrow his car. - I'll ask for a Ferrari.

It's fine so don't bust my balls. Who helped you all your life?

If you meet Ornela Muti, say hello!

I'm going to get water. You get the luggage.

[car engine starts]

[church bells tolling]

[dramatic choral music]

Let's sit. I need to change.

[truck engine revving]

[intriguing music]

What are you looking at?

- Ciao. - Ciao.

- Kaci, see those girls there? - Where?

Dressed like nuns. They took their clothes off with no shame.

- They're porn stars. - How do you know?

- I can smell the sex. - You bastard.

Let's take them with us.

It's hot and they're waiting for the bus.

We need to find the road to Venice.

And if someone sees them with us? Then what?

You're an idiot.

We have two things to do, go to Venice, meet my daughter

and attend the festival. Three things. That's it.

[car engine starts]

[upbeat guitar music]

Excuse us ladies, where is the road to Venice?

It looks like we're stalking them.

It's a bus station, not a junkyard.

She offended us. If she was my wife, I'd cut her tongue out.

Enver and Stalin were right to put them to jail.

Stalin was very bad.

Yes, he was bad. But he knew where evil leads.

You'll die an idiot?

- First time in Italy? - No, but first time with a car.

Venice is about 800 km from here.

We want to go to Venice. Since you have space,

if you take us with you, we'll be your map.

We take them?

We Albanians open the door during troubled times.

I predict great weather.

[pensive music]

As I said, we're two filmmakers from Albania.

We're going to the Venice Film Festival.

As I said, we act in adult movies.

We're going to Venice. Our company has an important audition.

You married?

My wife died five years ago.

I have a thirty year old daughter.

She's amazing.

She's studying in Venice to become a doctor.

She's very intelligent.

Kaci here is married.

You say I'm married so quick. Give my shoe size too!

Why did you become porn star actresses?

I wanted to be an actress. But no one gave me a film part.

I didn't get into art school.

I met a porn director in the Czech Republic.

He said I was brilliant at this type of profession.

So my career began.

I do it for the money. The job pays well.

Work a lot?

Not so much now, but we do online sex.

Sex online?

Yes, online with clients on the phone.

We perform, strip and masturbate.

The longer they're online, the more we earn.

But lately, we don't have many clients.

Even for us, years go by.

You do the same?

Every morning and every evening.

They have no shame!

- 'Turp'? What does it mean? - It's between us.

Isn't there a therapeutic beach down there?

- If it's a beach, let's go. - 30 minutes only.

[romantic pop music]

This is a therapeutic beach?

We already had all the therapy we need! [chuckles]

[waves crashing]

Let's see the other side. It's very beautiful and not far.

- Okay, let's go. - Thanks.

No, I don't want to.

- Want to play a game? - A game?

- Let's play hide and seek. - Okay.

Okay, come and get me! [laughs]

[intriguing music]

Help me!

Help me!

Kaci!

- Kaci, what's wrong? - My heart hurts.

Are the beats fast or strong?

Fast and strong.

Is there a doctor? Is there a hospital nearby?

I don't know.

Is there a hospital?

[suspenseful music]

Sir, is there a doctor or hospital nearby?

- I'm a doctor, why? - My friend has a heart problem.

Up the hill is a church, I can take care of him.

Thanks, I'll bring him.

- I'm scared to get in that! - I've no other choice.

He'll take you to the church. He's a doctor.

Don't worry, come with me.

- Thank you. - Careful.

Come on, Kaci. Careful.

Take it easy. Easy, man.

[grunts]

Bravo.

Thank you, sir.

Don't worry. When the fogs lifts, come to the church.

- To the church? - Yes.

- Come on, girls. - You okay?

[air hissing]

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Where's the balloon? He said at the church.

Kaci!

Kaci!

[bell tolls]

Arab man!

[door rattles, opens]

Kaci!

Kaci! What was the name of the Arab man?

- Bo? - The Arab kidnapped my friend.

Oh, Kaci!

Kaci!

Kaci!

Where were you? You scared me to death.

- How's your heart? - My heart's fine.

He gave me a special tea. I'm good as new.

We should buy two kilos to take with us.

I didn't ask the price.

What tea are you talking about?

I made food for all of us.

Come, let's eat!

Now we're talking, thank God.

[gentle guitar music]

[insects chirping]

Spaghetti!

- Kaci, how are you? - Better, the pain is gone.

You made me 'derman', with that tea.

'Derman' is Turkish.

As long as I find it in the forest, it's free.

If you want, we can go pick some cause I have no more.

Don't worry, you were just tired.

- Irina, this is yours. - Thanks.

This is from the priest, Bonioni. For you, only a small glass.

Where's the priest?

He went to the city. It's just me here now.

- What do you do here? - I was a doctor in Damascus.

I take care of the refugees. I help them get here by balloon.

So you live in the church?

I can live wherever I want in the world.

Unfortunately, only in my country, I'm afraid to live.

Know what's the worst?

When you're more afraid to live in your own country than a foreign one.

It's like when you're sleeping at your neighbors

and you can't even get inside,

to take back your memories.

Here at my neighbor's house things aren't the same.

The neighbors aren't our parents.

The sun doesn't shine through the windows the same.

The scent of the house is different.

Different from the food you ate at your grandmother's table.

- A toast to you! - Thank you.

Thanks.

It's been so long since I prayed before dinner.

My father would beat me if I didn't pray.

But I don't want to pray.

I want to raise a wine glass and toast.

For Kaci! [kisses]

To get better and not scare us anymore.

For us,

to one day finally arrive in Venice!

[all] Cheers!

For Kaci's sake.

Cheers!

Stay here tonight, he needs rest.

Tomorrow morning, do as you wish.

Cheers!

- 'Gëzuar' in Albanian. - Gëzuar!

[glasses clinking]

[laughing]

- Sounds better, no. - Gëzuar!

I have to go ring the bells.

The priest trusted me with this job.

Gëzuar!

- Thank you very much. - See you tomorrow.

Gëzuar!

[pensive music]

[insects chirping]

I think we're lost again. It's the second time.

Yes.

Look, there are some lights on that side.

It's the city lights.

We should go in the other direction.

Look at the sea. Looks like a lake.

[gentle music]

Are you happy?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Do you miss your wife?

Yes.

I miss her,

when she danced. She was a great dancer.

When I drank,

she was a great companion.

What do you miss most about her?

Many things.

I liked when she left little notes on the fridge.

Small quotes for the day, with a lot of fantasy.

[chuckling]

It seems like you haven't had other girlfriends after her.

I think it's been a long time since you were happy.

Why do you say so?

Because you're always silent.

You're silent cause you're sad inside,

and you don't want to talk about it.

- Shall we go? - Let's go.

Oh my God! What was that?

[gasping]

Maybe a snake.

What's wrong?

I hate snakes, I can't move.

Don't be scared, it's gone now.

I can't move.

Jump on my back, I'll take you back.

- Are you serious? - Yes, come on.

[both laughing]

[insects chirping]

Get down now. Bravo.

You're strong like a lion.

Do you like me?

A little.

Yes, because I'm a porn star and I sleep with lots of men.

[pensive music]

I'm not interested in how many men you've been with.

[phone chimes]

What's that?

It's a signal telling me I have clients online.

It rang a few times today. Why didn't you answer?

I was having a good time with you,

so I took the day off. I only lost 105 euros.

[pensive music]

Good night.

I'm going.

I had a nice day with you too.

[melancholy music]

Please don't cry over an exam. You'll do better next time, honey.

- Vani? - Yes.

I made breakfast. You coming?

I'm coming. Where's Irina?

She's around somewhere.

Let's eat and go. We're late.

Set the table, I'll meet you there.

[bright music]

[laughing]

[moaning]

[moaning]

[man speaking over phone]

[whimsical music]

[dramatic music]

[door slams]

Where do you get the right,

to humiliate me in front of everyone?

How did I humiliate you?

You humiliated me in front of everyone,

in front of God, in front of my friend and yours!

Everyone saw me coming with flowers in my hand.

While you... I don't want to remember!

I'm not your wife! You can't order me about!

My wife? You'll never be my wife.

[scoffs]

[whistling]

[blinkers ticking]

Shame on you!

Vani, don't be stupid. We're late!

Don't play games. Oh, Vani!

[pensive music]

[upbeat electronic music]

[phone ringing]

- Is that my phone? - No, it's mine.

Hello. Who is it? Ah, Filippo!

Kaci call your wife. Tell her we're fine,

- so she won't worry. - I'll call her later.

Irina, I got wonderful news!

Remember the Spanish director you said was sexy?

Of course.

Filippo told me his manager

wants to see my photos for a film in Bora Bora.

- That's great! - Finally, some good luck!

Kaci, I need professional photos.

He must see how I look, but professional.

I can't help you. Look at me, I'm still sick.

But I need them now. I've no other option.

You're my only hope! I can't send mobile photos.

Despite my good will, there must be

an enormous reason to make me stand and take photos.

Mother of God! This is the end of the world.

The best porn director wants me. I have a director of photography

and I can't send pictures. I need photos fast!

I can take the photos.

But then you'll give me a massage.

Sweetheart! You're my savior! My lion!

We're all lions here.

If you give me some great shots, I'll reward you.

Meaning?

[kiss]

[chuckles]

[grunts]

[phone ringing]

Hello, Lola here.

- Where is Kaci? Kaci? - He's in the hotel.

Lola! Lola!

Lola, come on!

Come this way.

- We have 30 minutes for photos. - Let's start.

You have to pose sexy.

You must be as sexy as possible.

Let's hurry.

[camera shutter clicks]

Bravo.

- In the pool now. - Okay, but fast.

Bravo.

Show your breasts.

[camera shutter clicking]

Great! Thanks.

[phone ringing]

Who's there?

I'm with Vani in the hotel.

A woman answered. Show me with the camera!

You want to see? Look!

See anything? No! Maybe you dialed wrong.

I called your number and a girl answered.

Probably the receptionist, she's so stupid.

I left the phone and she may have picked it up.

Don't lie to me!

Tell me the truth! Who are you with?

You're with a whore!

Yes, I'm always lying!

- Hello, sir. - Yes?

We're Jehovah's Witnesses.

You have time to talk about God?

Please, go away.

We wanted to tell what the Bible says about marriage.

- Marriage? - Yes.

Thanks, after 40 years, I know marriage.

You left home to betray me!

Sweetheart, can't you see it's a misunderstanding?

The receptionist's name is Lola.

She must have answered my phone.

I'll throw her in the pool for taking my phone!

Sweetie, let me kiss you.

Did Vani wake up?

- He's here. - I want to talk to him.

- He's in his room or the toilet. - I'll be waiting.

Okay, I'll call him.

One minute and I'm back.

What the fuck?

Sorry, my mistake.

A mistake? You have no respect for privacy.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. You can't open a door like that.

- I apologize. - Pervert!

[whimsical music]

The congress starts tomorrow, tonight we party!

- Party everyone! - I thank...

Everyone's driving me crazy! Talk to Leta.

Leta, how are you?

Vani, having a good time?

Fine, we're near Venice but we had to stop.

Vani, I want you to swear on the soul of your dead wife,

that no women are there.

What are you saying, Leta? Where do we find women?

We're alone.

Swear on Beta's soul, it's just the two of you there.

Listen, I never swear on Beta.

Please do it for me. I don't trust him at all.

I made up my mind to divorce him this time.

Listen...

I'll never, ever swear on Beta or my daughter.

Then swear on your daughter you're alone.

Don't make me do this. My daughter is sacred to me.

I'm sure he's lying! He's lied to me all my life!

He cheated and lied.

He cheated with the Kinostudio and theater staff!

I'm going to finally leave that animal!

Enough!

I swear on Beta's soul we're alone in the hotel.

Other people are here but we don't know them.

This is the last time I'll swear like this. Please.

Here, take it.

Convinced we're alone now?

Please no more absurd jealousy. It's a fantasy in your head.

God knows how a certain Lola answered the phone.

Maybe the receptionist created a whole plot in her head,

and now here we are.

Listen, at least you believe Vani?

He wouldn't lie and swear on his wife's soul.

He can't be that cruel.

Okay, I trust him.

Tell Vani, I forgive him and to forgive me.

Vani...

...forgive me.

Look what you made me do!

I swore on my dead wife to cover your lies.

I've never done this in my life.

It's like I buried her a second time.

How come you're still a teenager?

You got us involved with these sluts and made problems.

You nearly died from a heart attack.

I swear on my wife.

For God sake, just go! You only think about your ass!

[intriguing music]

I don't only think about my ass. I care about you too.

Go! Leave me alone to digest what I did.

[upbeat electronic music]

He is Mr. Girolamo.

- Irina. - It's a pleasure.

The lady is Mrs. Ginevra.

Call me Gina. Mrs. Ginevra makes me feel old.

How old are you?

[chuckles] Still not menopausal, and you?

I turn 50 this year.

You don't show it.

I have to confess something to you...

Cheers!

Lola, come here!

[people cheering]

[upbeat electronic music continues]

[insects chirping]

[upbeat electronic music]

We are marquises... Are you crazy?!

[laughing]

[melancholy music]

[sighs]

Sweetheart, come here!

My shoes hurt. I can't walk.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you, you looked sad.

Can I hug you? I missed you so much.

Hug me as much as you want.

My love...

Hear the music?

- It's so beautiful. - Yes.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

Remember how many times we danced together?

[chuckling]

At every party we went to.

My love, you're a great dancer.

Honey, why is your heart beating so fast?

I miss you so much, Beti.

[sighs]

I miss you too.

Honey, why were you so upset?

[sighs]

Kaci made me swear on your soul for a lie.

[laughs] I'm here now. Your swear isn't important at all.

[laughs]

Don't be angry at your friends.

I love you so much, Beti.

I'll always love you.

I'll love you forever too.

I want you to be happy, to have fun.

Not to think of anyone else except yourself.

Every moment, I only think about you and our daughter.

Sweetheart, I want you to think only of yourself.

Do you like Irina?

She's nice and beautiful.

If I were you, I'd give her a chance.

- What do you think? - Aren't you jealous?

[laughs]

Sweetheart, one... two... three...

[laughing]

One... two... three...

[laughs]

[melancholy music]

[upbeat electronic music]

[sobbing]

Don't worry. We're just drunk.

Like back in the old Kinostudio parties.

Think about it. We're going to Venice.

You're Albania's best director.

You're going to meet your daughter.

Come and rest now.

Come on.

[grunts]

Kaci, let me sleep here.

[playing "Bella Ciao"]

[laughing]

[laughing]

[kiss]

And now, let's all go to our house! Come on!

[laughing]

[insect chirping]

[birds chirping]

[snoring]

We're near your house.

What if your husband finds us here?

No, he never comes this far.

It takes ten minutes and we'd notice him.

Don't worry.

[chuckling]

I want to show my masterpiece now.

'When I wake up in the morning, what a joy!'

[chanting]

[laughing]

[moaning]

Get down here!

[panting, chuckling]

'While asleep, the conscience told me, '

'Drink! For in sleep and in the tomb, happiness is lost.'

'Stand up, during life, empty the glasses,

and kiss the girls'.

'For there will be plenty of time to sleep in peace.'

'From the Tavern a voice shouted, '

'Awake lads, and fill the cups.'

'Tonight Fate has quenched our thirst.'

'And, as the Cock crew, those who believed shouted, '

'Open then the doors! Life is short.'

- Yes, more! - Call me a lion.

Come on, lion! More!

[moaning]

I can't... because of my heart!

'We're old now and youth, once departed, may return no more.'

Brilliant! We didn't quite understand it,

but the interpretation was brilliant.

[laughing]

You go first. So no one sees us together.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[snoring]

[laughing]

[Kaci] Vani!

Vani!

[pants]

Where the fuck did I get lost?

Ginevra.

Ginevra!

Oh, Vani!

Vani! Oh, Vani!

That whore has a dog?

[pants]

[groans, gasps]

Oh, mother!

[phone rings]

Honey, I lost my way.

I can't breathe and my heart is beating fast.

- I'm going to die here. - Where are you?

In a maze, in a vineyard.

Why do you enter mazes, and not know the way out?

Relax, it'll be fine. Don't be a fool.

Okay, stay on the line. Don't go.

No, just go straight. We'll find the way.

Forward, okay. Right now, sweetie.

Straight ahead.

[mysterious music]

This way is blocked.

Honey, relax. Go back and turn right.

Okay, sweetie.

Vani!

I found it. You're my salvation.

My little fool who has no clue where he's going!

I could've found the way.

Oh sure!

You messed me up a few times, like in life.

How's your heart? Calm now?

I'm fine.

- Then you can drop dead now. - I love you truly. A kiss.

I have to go.

[snoring]

[knocking]

Where are we?

We going to the festival or sleeping?

Call the women. I mean, the girls.

[romantic pop music]

Just listen,

if someone sets their mind to reach a goal,

there's nothing on the way that can stop them.

So, if you have a destination, nothing can stop you.

But you must arrive at the finish line.

Understand my metaphor?

We both have one goal.

That you finish school and become a doctor.

Nothing can stop you from this goal.

This is very important.

Take care, kiss you. Ciao.

Vani, we should stop. I need to pee.

Vani, I want to buy something for my wife.

Here?

I don't have much money. I'm not rich.

- She can use the toilet. - [Vani sighs]

15 minutes, that's all.

[upbeat music plying]

[whistling]

Should I buy something for my daughter?

- In this place? - A shirt or a dress.

This isn't her taste.

I only have 200 euros.

If I buy her something, nothing's left.

- How much you got? - About 500 euros.

- How much? - 10 euros.

- I really have to pee. - Yes.

Come this way.

Lola...

my wife is the same size as you.

Try it on.

Behind this door.

Someone may see me from the other side of the road.

What's the difference?

It's important people you know don't see you.

[soft emotive music]

[piss streaming]

- Want this for your wife? - I don't know.

Or else I'll take it.

I finished.

Thanks for taking care of me.

[emotive music]

I left you a small gift.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Where's my bag?

Where is it?

It's not here.

Not here either.

- You check in the back? - It's not there.

I forgot it at the wagon. We must go back immediately.

We can't go back.

We have to! Everything's there.

My passport, my money. My credit cards and mobile.

Shit, I can't work without the mobile!

You should've paid attention. We can't return now.

[sobbing] Shit, how do I solve this?

We've been driving over an hour. Going back means three hours.

We need to get to Venice. Our film is in competition.

We have no time to lose.

This shitty festival!

You come from Albania and tell me about Venice.

Thieves, you stole my bag! You come to Italy to steal from us!

Think you'll win an award?

See the way you dress, you shitty Albanian!

Look at yourself! You made a film about love!

Help me find my phone! I'll pay your fuel, fuck it!

- Do good for once! - [Kaci] Calm down.

Know what you are? A coward! Not a man!

A coward! I want my phone! [sobs]

- I want my phone! - Calm down, please.

[sobbing]

[melancholy music]

Sweetie, we're not coming tonight. We're going to a wedding.

We'll be in Venice tomorrow, so keep studying.

Don't worry. Take care, kisses.

Good night. Ciao.

Hello, mama. I wasn't feeling well yesterday.

- How much? - 200 euros.

[dog barking]

[upbeat music playing]

Don't worry. In a year, you'll dance beautifully.

[crowd claps along]

[fire crackling]

I really didn't mean those words.

We'll split up tomorrow.

I'll miss you guys.

You two are lions, real lions.

[Vani sighs]

This is for you.

This is too much.

[kiss]

Come on.

What kind of movies do you like to watch?

[chuckling] The ones I'm in.

I always watch them. When I'm sad, I rent them from the video shop.

Really?

What about you?

I also like to watch my movies. [laughs]

- You afraid? - No.

- Okay, you go first. - Yes!

[laughing]

Irina...

[panting]

[romantic pop music]

We're here.

Come on.

Guys, come this way.

Irina and Lola keep quiet.

Come on, move your ass!

- Hello. - Hello.

This is for the web.

Hold this a moment?

If we win a prize, what will you say?

I haven't thought about it.

Why not rehearse, the stage is empty?

Are you joking?

Why don't you try? Go on.

Good evening, everyone.

We come from a small country, but with a rich history,

and with a people that want to do the best in life.

We come from Albania.

I want to thank the crew that made this film with great love.

I thank my friend, the director of photography,

the most talented Kastriot Shehu. [chuckles]

I also want to thank the people

who made me feel happy again.

I've never liked adventures but my journey,

to this festival has been a miraculous adventure.

Finally, I'd like to thank a special person.

She makes me proud every day.

My sweetie, my daughter Klea.

Darling, this award is for you.

[laughing]

The next girl, get undressed!

[dramatic piano music]

Dad?

[echoing thud]

[sighs]

[gasping]

[melancholy music]

[Klea] I'm your daughter,

and you're my father.

You're the best dad in the world.

My ideal man.

And any time I need you,

I know that you'll be there for me.

[distant chatter]

I love you very much, dad.
