The second chapter / Albania / Elkjana Gjipali (director/ scriptwriter) Jonid Jorgji (producer)

“This film tells a moving story that will evoke desperation, dismay and sadness, as well as delight, happiness and joy. It portrays an important chapter in the life of a woman, a wife, a mother and an artist, a main character the audience can and will relate to easily. The producer and the writer-director gave us a wonderful pitch that instilled confidence that this film is not only being made by the right creative talent, but that they are capable and ready to make high-quality cinema. It is definitely one of the 2021 films we want to see as soon as it is ready.”
