Mali i Harrum (2018)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8443724/

Into the valley drive Lorenc (Agron Shala), his wife Ema (Fatlume Bunjaku), and her father Rikard (Xhevat Qorraj, who is like a morose Billy Connolly). 72 years old and ailing, Rikard has had his whole life upended. Marta (Ikbale Qena), his wife of some fifty years, recently died after a long, debilitating illness, and his son Anton swindled him out of his own urban home – and so now his daughter and son-in-law are taking the depressed old man out to their cottage in the wilderness for a change of scene and hopefully of mood. “How much longer?”, are Rikard’s first words in the film. “Be patient, we’ll get there,” Lorenc replies (later, discussing the difficulties in having children, Rikard will use a similar sentiment to reassure Lorenc: “With patience, everything is achievable.”). Yet Rikard himself is not patient. Down on his luck and overwhelmed with feelings of loss, betrayal, and despair, he longs not just to finish this bumpy car ride, but also to reach a more final destination as quickly as possible, seeing no good reason to continue living. Ema too is impatient. She wants to have a baby, through a program of fertility treatment, before it is too late, whereas Lorenc would rather wait till their financial situation is less precarious. “We have plenty of time,” Lorenc reassures her, but Ema knows that her biological clock is ticking, and no longer wishes to put things on hold. Lorenc’s resistance to change, and Ema’s rush towards it, reflect the clash between stone and water outside. They will also drive Ema into the arms of their neighbor Albani (Kastriot Shehi). Meanwhile, Rikard, all at once ‘restless’ and arrested in his apocalyptic thoughts, cannot quite decide whether to stay or to go. On his solitary walks in contemplation of a suicidal exit, he will keep encountering a local resident, the aging widow Diella (Merita Gjyriqi), who might just represent a good reason for him to hang around – but then the ghost of his wife also beckons
