Following his 2004 Colombian drug-mule st🐭ory , writer/director Joshua Marston (finally) returns with another real𝓀ism-drenched tale set in a faraway foreign land.

This time, it’s Albania, Marston embroiling himself in the minutiae of the country’s ancient customs and ‘blood feuds’, when a bread seller kills his neighbour after an argument about cro♔ssing his land with a horse and cart.

Thoroug🌄hly researched, it smartly depict♛s the clash between old and new in a country aching for modernisation.

Even if it lacks a stand-ou🌟t turn it’s still a grippingly authentic slice🐠 of life.
