 Niku is 23 and struggling to survive and prosper in the
 chaos that is contemporary Albania. Everyone else, it seems
 wants to leave ? his girlfriend Klara wants to go to Paris,
 and his neighbor gets herself married to an Italian. Niku

 uses the only asset he has ? a pickup truck ? to make a

 living. The odd jobs he takes on are odd indeed: a German

 tourist who has bought a bunker as a war souvenir wants to

 transport it home; Niku has to move an enormous statue of

 Stalin. Random shootings seem the order of the day. But the

 spirit of his neighbors gives Niku optimism, puts things in

 perspective, and sharpens the "should I stay or should I go"

 dilemma of a generation. Drawing on the country's cultural

 wealth and beautiful landscapes and the dry humor of its

 people, Fatmir Koçi, directing his second feature, paints an

 affectionate, surreal, and comic portrait of his homeland.

 89 minutes.

 I'm sorry for the unwanted "spam" but it would be great if

 you could forward this to all your freinds in NYC. It's a

 great movie, it also participated in the Cannes festival

 last year.
