Vera Dreams of the Sea (Vera Andrron Detin)
Part of the The Chamber Strand
Mild-mannered Vera lives a comfortable life with her retired husband Fatmir, dreaming of selling their old village house and retiring to the seaside. In the aftermath of Fatmir’s sudden suicide, a gaggle of menacing men suddenly become very interested in the previously worthless old house, and Vera finds herself standing alone against deeply ingrained misogyny, corruption and her husband's secret dealings. Kaltrina Krasniqi’s film is the latest accomplished drama in an exciting wave of women’s stories coming out of Kosovo. [15]
