Albania, 2018.
A couple decides to get married but clashes with a – not so – old tradition: the mother-in-law wants to be present during first wedding night.
Voyeurism? Not at all, the woman “just” wants to be sure about the virginity of the bride.
Albania, 2018.
Una coppia decide di sposarsi ma si scontrerà una vecchia tradizione che in realtà vecchia non è: la madre dello sposo vuole essere presente alla prima notte di nozze della coppia.
Voyerismo? No, la donna è lì “solo” per assicurarsi che la sposa sia vergine.
