This is an interesting documentary filming the only four men left in
the village of Zabrdje. There is obviously a big problem in this
village; there are no women at all. Three brothers, Dragan, Zoran and
Rodoljub agree that women are needed, but all the Serbian women have
moved away. The alternative is to find women in Albania because there
are more women than men over there. However, there is another problem
with this solution- the brothers, who fought in Kosovo against the
Albanians. Besides, their aging neighbor Velimir seems to have the
need to find a woman to take care of him. The journey starts...
I find great scenery in this documentary film. The tools that these
three men use to survive in their village are brilliant, creative, and
interesting. Watching this documentary film is like seeing the past
but with a cell phone. There is no running water or indoor pluming in
the house. This movie also will also take the audiences into a
cultural exploration.
