The director Bujar Alimani presented his film Chromium in Lecce, and reveals to us how he realized that two of the main characters of the film were based on two brothers he knew in his childhood.

With his first feature film Amnesty, Alimani won the Jury prize in Lecce and he couldn’t wait to participate again with a new film. The intent of the film was to portray Albanian society, not the one living in the very European Tirana but the small villages’.

CHROMIUM: After having lost two husbands, a mute woman a mother of two young boys has to survive and support her family by sheer will. Her older boy a 15 year old tries to come onto his own while attending school and illegally finding work at a Chromium mine nearby. A man that finds himself amidst a woman’s love and her young adolescent son’s jealous tantrums. A young female math teacher who loves rock music and has rebelled against her parent’s wishes of following the path of a comfortable life in the capital. She appears as a guardian angel helping and guiding the young 15 year old boy in his journey towards manhood.
