A gripping story of forbidden love between a married family man, Albanian Arsim, and Serb Milos in the wartime conditions of Kosovo in the late 1990s

Bolla is a story about forbidden love. Arsim, an Albanian family man, and Milos, a Serb, fall for each other during the Kosovo War in the late 1990s, and what ensues is a timeless and topical tale about impossible relationships and a depiction of conflicts, marriage and longing. This crushing love story with loaded dialogue and restrained presentation shows us how dire circumstances can turn someone into a knot of cruelty, violence, caring and tenderness. The show based on Pajtim Statovci's novel.—IN BO
