Bota (Albanian for “the world”) is a cafe situated on the edge of a vast area of marshland in a remote part of Albania, and it is here that the lives of the protagonists intersect in this compelling debut by Iris Elezi and Thomas Logoreci. The directors skilfully exploit the genius loci of the desolate landscape and, aided by a period score and beguiling long shots, they flawlessly evoke the atmosphere of a place where the past still encroaches upon people’s lives.

"Femrat" is a movie about a guy who's life goes smoothly until all women around him decide he is a good catch. Being a divorce lawyer, marriage is more of a horror show to him as woman are - in his eyes- wonderful creatures that desire one thing: to trap you forever! A crazy inmate who will do anything to stop his divorce, an obsessive mother who wants him settled, two very demanding twins in search of a husband, and a wife-dependent taxi-driver are his world... until the sky strikes and he finds himself in an abandoned buss stop, at the mercy of a beautiful brunette.The smarter he becomes in avoiding the luring traps build by women around him, the more impossible it becomes to escape forever... because in the end, love is a game and the winner sometime is the one who doesn't like to play.
