Tales from the border

Honeymoons is the first Serbian-Albanian co-production. It is yet another sign that the cinema of the Balkan countries is currently one of the most interesting cinemas in the world. Honeymoons tells the story of two couples, one Serbian and one Albanian, who for different reasons decide to emigrate to Italy. However they soon find out that grass is not necessarily greener on the other side as they both face unforeseen problems at the border. Honeymoons deals with issues such as racism, immigration, human dignity in a subtle and very effective way. It is very well directed by Goran Paskajevic and the acting is uniformly excellent. A disturbing and quietly devastating film.
