    Storyline

    Edit
    Anita and Bekim are adding the final touches to their wedding, the big day now just two weeks away. Despite expecting news of Anita's parents, declared missing since the 1999 Kosovar War, and dealing with Bekim's controlling family, the couple somehow manage the preparations. Then Bekim's secret gay ex-lover Nol unexpectedly returns from abroad, complicating things when Bekim realizes that Nol is still in love with him. The unusual love triangle unravels at the wedding banquet. —Jeton Kulinxha

    Heartache and love
    A heartbreaking, yet realistic exploration of fear, supression, and love. The characters are intriguing, with realistic motivations and emotional baggage that determines their decisions and ultimately their futures.
