Looking for Venera

2022 · 111 min

A quiet, observant coming-of-age portrait that unfolds slowly, capturing the claustrophobia of family life and the tentative thrill of first rebellion.

Overview: Living in a crowded, multi-generational household in a small village in Kosovo, the quiet teenager Venera can rarely find privacy. However, when she befriends the rebellious Dorina, a new, liberating world opens up to her. Slowly, Venera begins to push against her conservative family’s expectations.
