Bota
Bota
In Albanian the name Bota translates as “the world”. The beach bar of the same name however is located in a soulless no man's land, somewhere between the mainland and the sea; In fact it was here that political prisoners were detained during the Communist period. Waitress Juli works for her cousin Ben, who has become involved with the local Mafia. An Italian construction company intends to construct a new highway through this withered marshland, time and again however they stumble across the mortal remains of the victims of political repression. The film's main protagonist is ultimately also confronted with the painful truth about her deceased mother and her family.
