Material from film archives and contemporary footage (on 16mm) are interwoven to a dense essay on the history of Albania, from the times of the communist Hoxha dictatorship to the present. Focus is on the interpretation of an old, supposedly regime-critical poem by young Albanians. While the films’ images are a living, historical substance that can be shaped and distorted, the poetry is a ray of light traversing them, illuminating their meaning in constantly new and different ways.
