The incipit is pretty simple : a young man returns to his homeland in Kosovo after years of exile. Once he arrives, he's faced with a place that has changed during his absence. Violence, war and time has sweeped the place, like and invisible broom.
That's when Una (played by Luana Bajrami) comes in. Not only she is now the boss of the family, she also radiates the screen with a dazzling performance. Every little gesture, smirk or word carries meaning, carries weight, and above all, emotion. She is a pleasure to watch, and the arc of her character is quite big, yet unexpected.
The way it's filmed and staged is a great example of creativity. Many will be rebuffed by the slowness of the film, but it delivers strongly.
Some would say it's a "slow burn" ; I found it emotionally incendiary. 8.9/10.
