In Northern Albania, kids use cell phones, yet bread is still delivered by horse and buggy. As for teenager Nik (Tristan Halilaj), he's embarking on his first romance and dreaming about the internet café he wants to open.
When his father is accused of murder, the victim's family evokes a 15th-century code that gives them the right to kill Nik, throwing him into virtual house arrest. But Nik begins taking risks as he sees his girl and future slipping away.
In Albanian with English subtitles.
