Vera Dreams of the Sea Vera andrron detin

Kaltrina Krasniqi / Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia / 2021 / 82 min / Albanian

An intimate yet universal portrait of a woman who has to face the raw reality of going against the deep-seated gender divisions of our time.

Vera is a middle-aged sign language interpreter, who leads a well-structured life: a wife to a renowned judge, a supportive mother, and a caring grandmother. Her serene life is disrupted by her husband’s suicide followed by an unwelcome, menacing parade of men who claim to have ownership over their village family house. When the tendrils of an underworld scheme begin to surface, Vera’s world seems ready to collapse. Fear and mistrust force Vera to take the family’s fate into her own hands.

"Vera, my mother, was in her mid-thirties when she divorced my father. Raised in socialist Yugoslavia, she believed in the judicial system and fought in courts to ensure our share of inheritance and was defeated. This was the first time she was confronted with the limits of the society she aspired for herself, becoming aware that the legal system follows a very patrilineal logic, which historically othered women regarding property rights, trapping them in a lifelong economic dependency from men. I was interested in challenging the traditional male hero narrative, because that character arc often does not fit the experience of women and other marginalised people."
