Hana is growing up in an archaic alpine landscape in Albania where the old codes and traditional gender roles prevail. She escapes the fate of a wife and servant when, in accordance with the Kanun, the traditional Albanian law, she pledges herself to life-long virginity.
Layering vulnerability and stoicism, Alba Rohrwacher is magnetic in Laura Bispuri’s formidable debut. Shedding light on an obscure Albanian ritual where young women surrender their femininity, this decades-spanning family saga muses on gender fluidity and the possibility of personal liberation.
