In order to understand and fully enjoy the film, one should know the background of its filming:
1) Shot in 1993 just after the fall of the regime, it represents the understanding of the director at this time with the knowledge of over 60 years separation from the world. The film draws parallels to the life of the Enver Hoxha's wife.
2) Black and white film is shot because this was the state-of-the-art at this time
Overall I enjoyed the film throughly. Its always worth going to festivals (in this case GoEast-Wiesbaden, Germany). Otherwise I can't imagine where it is possible to see "different" films.
