SYNOPSISAfter having lost two husbands, a mute woman a mother of two young boys has to sur-vive and support her family by sheer will. Her older boy a 15 year old tries to come onto his own while attending school and illegally finding work at a Chromium mine nearby.

A man that finds himself amidst a woman’s love and her young adolescent son’s jealous tantrums. A young female math teacher who loves rock music and has rebelled against her parent’s wishes of following the path of a comfortable life in the capital. She ap-pears as a guardian angel helping and guiding the young 15 year old boy in his journey towards manhood.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Six months after having written the first script version of KROM I finally realized that two of the main characters were based on two brothers I knew in my childhood. I remember now that the brothers were always detached and always kept to themselves. The entire neighborhood including me and my friends made fun and shunned the half-brothers as if it was their fault they had different fa-thers. Perhaps making KROM was a subconscious way of seeking forgiveness and clearing my conscience at the same time for those childhood indiscretions.

Bujar Alimani

PRODUCER’S STATEMENT

I have produced all the films directed by Bujar Alimani and I believe that KROM will surpass them all. In KROM Bujar has gone deeper, upfront and personal, braking through and naturally tapping into his abundant creative vein.

BUJAR ALIMANI’S PAST REVIEWS & AWARDS

“ Using breathtaking images without any superfluous flourishes, AMNISTIA depicts the life of its protagonists in today’s Albania, which is marked by unemployment, economic hardship and patriarchal structures. The director not only creates a panorama of Albanian society, but also tells a love story that has the stuff of tragedy.”

Anna Hoffman, ARSENAL BERLIN

“ Amnesty is an impressive Albanian debut feature written and directed by Bujar Alimani. In Alimani’s unsparing and bleak vision, contemporary Albania is a traditional patriarchal society in which adultery must be violently punished. Alimani’s measured narrative pacing and spare but striking visual style mark him as an up-and-coming talent from a little-known corner of the movie universe.”

Dennis West, CINEASTE

“ From the new generation of filmmakers, actorturned-filmmaker Bujar Alimani wrote and directed “Amnesty”, a dark, yet emotional drama about lowerclass Albanians who feel like strangers in their homeland. The film went on to become a major financial success

in Albania, and a festival favorite in Europe.”
