A undici giorni dalle elezioni, infatti, il consenso attorno al presidente rischia di precipitare a causa di una giovane ragazza scout che lo accusa di aver abusato di lei durante una gita alla Casa Bianca. Il piano per distogliere l'attenzione dell'opinione pubblica dallo scandalo sessuale consta di due fasi principali: durante la prima viene simulata un conflitto contro il piccolo stato balcanico, accusato di dare ospitalità ad alcune pericolose cellule terroristiche che minacciano la sicurezza degli Stati Uniti.

King Carlos II of Spain (r. 1665-1700) once sent his brother Luis to lead a military expedition into Albania and conquer that land for the Spaniards. Since Albania was a part of the dowry of Luis' wife, it seemed like a reasonable idea at the time. While that expedition and its final battle is the subject of this historical film, the scale involved can hardly do justice to the concept.

“Gjama” is a rarely practiced mourning ritual that was performed by Albanian men throughout the centuries.

Through the documentation of the re-enactment of the ritual, Zgjim Elshani seeks to recover fragments of the practice in the communities where this form of collective grieving is still a way of overcoming loss. By doing so, the project intends to rethink collective grieving and what it means to publicly display emotions in a male-headed society.
