Three Windows and a Hanging
2014 · Movie · 101 min. · Kosovo
In a traditional village in Kosova, a year after the war when people are rebuilding their lives, the female school teacher Lushe is driven by her inner conscience to give an interview to an international journalist, telling her that she and three other women from the village were raped by Serbian forces. As soon as the village men realize that it was Lushe who spoke to the journalist, they start a hate campaign against Lushe and her little boy, asking her to leave the village. An insightful portrait of a Balkan village, of a patriarchal microcosm, and of its mayor who desperately wants to control the village life. A reflection of rituals which not only show gender inequality, but also the absence of freedom of expression within the male community.
