Neverland

2019 · 80 min

A reflective, semi-documentary coming-of-age portrait that blends memory and archive to evoke a turbulent year with intimate melancholy.

Directed by
Erald Dika
Starring
Mateo Çili
Overview
The film tells a turbulent year, 1997 in Albania, through the stories of a group of friends. On the thread of memories, real images and archival images and staging will alternate to draw a portrait of a generation, before, during and after the events that have marked their lives. The film goes beyond the news and allows the viewer to approach in a more intimate and profound way the experience of the protagonists, reviving their past on the screen. A coming of age film with semi-documentary tones, which help to bring the facts narrated back into the reality of our days.
