Based on the true story of Fahrije Hoti & other widows residing in Krusha e Madhe during the 1999 Kosovo war, and the killings of village males by Serb forces. Afterwards males in the community tried to impose cultural traditional restrictions on female independence. But, Fahrije & other, mostly war widowed, women chose independence. One of which was starting their own business of making Krusha Ajvar, a red pepper spread, now sold in many countries.

I haven't seen a good albanian movie the last 10+ years and I was skeptical at first when I bought the ticket but..uauu!

Such a great,exceptional movie! The leading actress was amazing! The directing,music, everything was perfect and so real told! I strongly suggest seen it!

Such a powerful message! Well done

Kosovo's official entry to 2022's Oscars is amazing, authentic, emotional and powerful. Its true story is beautiful, interesting and well written. It beautifully tackles important topics like how hard it is to be a strong independent woman in a sexist patriarchal society, and to wait for those who are lost in the war. All portrayed in a beautifully simple, real and moving way. Cinematography is stunning. Lead performance is Oscar-worthy. It's one of the year's best international films.
