A Tale from the Past

The film is set in Albania. The events take place in an earlier period. Two families arrange a marriage. The parents make the decision entirely. Gjino is a boy of fourteen. Marigo is a woman of twenty. The two do not know each other. Gjino agrees against his will. Marigo’s heart belongs to someone else. She does not want this marriage. She tries various ways to get out of it. The pressure from the families does not lift. The household tries to settle into the situation. The film tells it in the shape of a comedy. A marriage made by force stands at the centre. Elvira Diamanti and Admir Sorra appear in the eighty six minute film, an Albanian production Dhimitër Anagnosti finished in 1987.
