Short description

The movie is based on a Fatmir Gjata screenplay. Gjata had written a novel with the same title earlier. The events evolve in the 1950s. The main character, Tana, is a smart, outgoing and progressive young woman. She is in love with Stefan (Naim Frashëri) and they both live in an unnamed mountain village in Albania. Tana has to face the old mentality of her old grandfather and she also has to fight the jealousy of Lefter . It is a love game, while socialist progress is highlighted as is often in the socialist realism.

What's left behind the scenes

  • After several months of theatrical release, the film was pulled from screens and subjected to further censorship. The kissing scene between Tana and Stefan (shot in 29 takes) was cut from the final version of the film.
  • The first Albanian film to feature kissing scenes.
