1996, rural Albania: among the earliest wedding videos shot after communism's collapse, a family celebration becomes a living record of a nation caught between economic upheaval, shifting faith, and mass migration. Nearly three decades on, their daughter revisits this intimate footage, piecing together her family's story through her own eyes.
