In this powerful touch with the world, through new and old diaspora that carried Albania in their baggage, this complexity is analyzed with love and simplicity, without taboos and pomposity, without drama; placing emphasis on the best sides that lead us forward as an individual and nation and stigmatized those who withdraw we back or keep us connected to the past. When possible we laugh at ourselves to show what is outmoded and what is new and modern in being Albanian in Paris, New York or Rome.
