www.honeymoons-movie.com/Year of production : 2009 Length : 95 min. Format : 35 mm Screen ratio : 1:1.85 (flat) Sound format : Dolby digital surround Countries of origin : Serbia, Albania SYNOPSIS The story of "HONEYMOONS" is set in contemporary Albania and Serbia. We follow the fortunes of two young couples who decide to leave their respective home countries in search of a better life in Western Europe. When the Albanian couple, after all sorts of incidents, arrives in an Italian southern port, their problems start. The same fate awaits the Serbian couple when they by train enter European Union at the Hungarian border. Despite the fact that they have nothing to do with the incident that occurred in Kosovo in which two Italian UN soldiers lost their lives, they are arrested at the border and suspected due to unfortunate coincidences. This prevents them, at least temporarily, from fulfilling their dreams, as is often the case with young people in the Balkans who pay for the mistakes of previous generations.

It says is Albanian-Serbian movie, which sellout MF cooperates with Serbs for making a movie. You make a movie with Serbs, than you have to justify even their butchering and raping and all other crimes against humanity. I don't know what the movies message is, but I can guess because I have seen post war Bosnian movies that blame the war but not nearly Karadzic and Mladic and their blood thirsty Serb followers. I know this "open minded Albanians" and I wish I could have them experience Kosovar scenario, perhaps that would've brought them to their sences.

My thoughts exactly Luaras! I don't understand this need and urge of the Albanian artistic community, not all but much of it, to suck up to the Serbs and play so forgiving ... sure, artists are supposed to represent the more intellectually emancipated and liberal element of a population that aspire for peace and understanding ... but it feels like it's too early, and rather one-sided. You don't see Albanian artists receiving city keys in Belgrade, but Goran Bregovic did in Tirana.
The sad thing is that it also occurs in Kosova where one Pjer Zhalica won a price in Prizren for a movie ... I mean come on, these fvcks still refuse to cooperate concerning the return of the bodies of our relatives and here we reward them with prices and city keys.

And they'll keep refusing Dijedon, as long as international and domestic politics sucks up to them. Serbs understand only the language of the fist.

I think it's a godd thing that Bregovic received they city keys, and a good thing that the links between Albanian and Serbian artists exist. Actually, I have nithing against Serbs, I just don't care. They are our neighbourgs, we must live with them. But when it comes to political things ... I'm Albanian and very proud to be. I think Kosovo and Presheva/Bujanovc must be part of Albania and the area of Northern Mitrovica part of Serbia (but not the "Mahalla boshnjake" ). Point I am Albanian from FYROMIA and I don't mind going every year to Ferizaj and celebrate Enver Hxhas birth day, because I am bastard who is incosiderate to Albanias people sufferings during communist regime.

Do you think a movie changes something about the geopolitics of the region?

Politicians should not have gotten involved in this. I support it so long as no city keys or any of that crap are distributed.
Personally, there is nothing with this film, it portrays a very good reality: no matter what our differences both Serbs and Albanians experience racism and injustice in the west. We may not like each other for the most part, but, as a people, and as individuals, we should come to some sort of common understanding of these things. Maybe as immigrants and humans and not as Serbs or Albanians.
Both of our people are not the living representation of our people, we are individuals and this creates a good link between the two.
I am opposed to the overly apologetic "open-minded" a-holes, I meet them often on facebook. They tend to be from southern Albania or Tirana, sadly, and are so into being "European" that they forget the suffering Albs endured in the past century in order to fit the Euro model better. But I dislike those Albs who are so ignorantly opposed to any kind of communcation that they stigmatize you as "Shkja" if you even consider it.

Inevitably we will have to communicate, sure, but it feels like our artistic community is sniffing up the Serbs' a*sses. This reach for cooperation and understanding always seems one-sided ... the Bregovic concerts held in Tirana and nothing Albanian held in Belgrade is a mere example. Always this subordinated attitude exemplified by the likes of Bujar Lako who feel so lucky and privileged to work with the likes of Paskaljevic or be in the same room as Bregovic .... this need of seeking affirmation amidst the very people who wish for us all that is bad and evil, it is constant and always there. The political involvement just adds to the foul smell.

I actually understand these feelings.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of retards in Albania which do not really represent the nation. And i think what Melty said was spot on. We don't have to hate Serbs but at least show some respect to the history of Albania.

Serbs do the killings, the never ending political anti Albanian propaganda, and they get the city keys. In a way we offer them an undeserved hand of friend ship, when in fact it should be the other way around. Good for them, they get away with murder and it works for them. All we do is dive in to a deep analysis and not get anything in return. Personally I am disgusted, I only wished we had the same dosage of nationalism that Slavs have, It would've done good to us and probably we wouldn't be having never ending debates with Greeks over Greek revolution heroes etc, history would've had different course.

luarasi, this doesn't happen in Albania but also in Kosovo. A lot of Albanians from Kosovo give the hand of friendship first, and some even know the Serbian language.

I agree with you. I too wish we had the same kind of nationalism Serbs and co. have. I honestly wish we could unite our people into committing Srebrenicas, simply because I feel that we are behind. Only suffering, never retaliating.

There is no reason to stoop to that level. We gain better reputation by doing good than bad things. Mos kopjo gjerat e keqija te armikut sepse pastaj behemi si armiku vete.
Albania only needs to act for it's interest diplomatically and more agressively.

Albania only needs to act for it's interest diplomatically and more agressively. Pa shikoni njehere se kush gezon reputacion me te mire ne bote, neve qe ne cdo vend qe na permendin si traifikante apo ata qe u'a kane haruar krimet. Hague is all about the politics, just because it happens that Serbs had by far more butchers in the Yugo wars, they had to balance it by inventing stories such as human organ trafficking in Albania by KLA, etc. Do you see any Serbs being ashamed of Srebrenica, on the contrary now they are going to travel freely in Europe, as for our good behavior, we'll need visas at firs so we can be physically present in Europe and then will gain a reputation.
