Storyline
Andre starts as a teacher in a remote mountain village in Albania. His first task is to choose one of two communist slogans. He picks the shorter one, which is appreciated by his class, because they have to build the slogan on the hillside using whitewashed rocks. However, this means that the longer slogan goes to Diana, the French teacher to whom Andre is attracted. Andre gets on the wrong side of the communist party boss of the village, when he stands up for an unjustly accused goat herdsman, whom he had befriended. The boss is determined to take his revenge on Andre. Written by Will Gilbert

I've seen this film in the Festival International de Films d'Amour (Love film international festival) in Mons, Belgium, while spending one year in Belgium as an Erasmus student. This film was one the greatest surprises of the festival. However, it wasn't on competition. I agree with the previous spectator's opinion. I have to add a commentary about one of the scenes I was shocked by: an extremely poor shepherd who cannot read or write is taken to court accused of being imperialist and opposed to communism. The reason? Some of his goats had moved some of the stones that composed the slogans the day before and was finally sent to prison. Too sad. If you have the possibility of seeing the film, go for it.
