THE GOLDEN ICECREAM
Portrait
Poreæ, a Croatian holiday resort. Tourists who come here to enjoy the sun and the sea are also treated to the strange spectacle offered by the staff of an ice-cream parlour: the “ice-cream acrobats” Fatmir Koçi interviews in a lighthearted documentary produced in the framework of a workshop. Many Catholic Albanians live and work in Croatia; some have been there for 20 years or longer, others are seasonal labourers. And while the second or third generation of Albanian immigrants dream of emigrating to the USA or Australia, their parents and grandparents still believe that there’s no place like home – even if many of them have done very well “abroad”.
