Ibrahimi tells the contemporary history of Albania and the transition between monarchy and communism through the stories of four generations of women. The life of the protagonist Saba reverberates the mechanisms of the Albanian matriarchal society in an exemplary way, returning a plot that alternates particular and universal, familiar and epic. The female condition becomes an opportunity to reflect on power and its transmission, as well as the tool to deconstruct cultural stereotypes and to explore their folk roots.
