Fahrije has battled grief and financial struggle since her husband went missing during the war in Kosovo. To provide for her family, she launches a business selling hot pepper preserves, a controversial act of independence that scandalizes her patriarchal village. Amid doubts of her husband’s return, she struggles not only to keep her family afloat but against a hostile community who seeks to violently undermine the independence and sisterhood she is determined to gain. 

Directed by Blerta Basholli. (2021, 84 min., in Albanian w/English subtitles)  For more information, go to https://sfi.sonoma.edu
