LOOKING FOR VENERA
Fokus: Kosovo & Albanien
Venera, an introverted teenager, has virtually zero privacy in the little village where she lives: at home, three generations live together under one roof and village life means that girls are subject to strict social control. When she befriends Dorina one day, another girl her age, her world opens up a tiny bit. The two girls test the limits of their freedom and are sure of one thing: they never want to end up like their own mothers. In her empathic fiction-feature debut, Norika Sefa shares the coming-of-age story of a modern teenage girl growing up in a traditional, rigidly hierarchical environment.
