Beate is an ambitious executive working at EUROPA, a mysterious corporation looking to expand into the Balkans region. Seemingly promoting philanthropy and investment in underdeveloped areas, Europa actually needs to buy off lands from locals in a remote valley in Southern Albania, using Beate as the main negotiator for this ambiguous mission. But things don't go as planned when she is challenged by Jetnor, a stubborn and spiritual farmer who refuses to leave the land of his ancestors.
Europa, the new feature from Austrian-Iranian filmmaker Sudabeh Mortezai, comes to Haifa from its world premiere at the Sarajevo Festival. The film is a portrait of two worlds colliding, a confrontation that cannot end well.
