Isabel Stevens ViewLondon Director and writer Bujar Alimani who refreshingly favours an understated approach in this subtle romance. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) As presented here, the provocative but dreary and dispiriting new reality of conjugal prison visits in post-communist Albania is symptomatic of a re-emerging nation's ugly groping toward 'progress.' Rated: 3/4 Jun 27, 2012 Full Review Joseph Proimakis Movies for the Masses full review at Movies for the Masses Rated: 3/5 Sep 29, 2011 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Two people stuck in empty, loveless marriages who meet in the most unusual of circumstances are the focus of this quiet, intriguing Albanian love story.

Audience Member An unhappy Albanian movie (other kinds do exist, surprisingly) about a man and woman who meet and fall in love while reluctantly visiting their spouses for the conjugal visits foisted upon their country by the meddlesome EU. When a film like this has no music you know things are not going to go well for the characters. It is well acted, and gives a glimpse into a country with many, many problems. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
