Where is Enver Hoxha?

Ku mund ta gjej Enver Hoxha?

Directing: Matthias Schwelm

Synopsis

Since 1991 there is a gaping hole in the heart of Tirana's city centre. Nowadays the municipal corporation erects a Christmas tree every year at the place, where once the bronze statue of Stalinist dictator Enver Hoxha loomed 10 meters high in the sky. The people have taken proper care of their former hero and made him vanish forever. They have performed their duty so well that nobody even remembers where they have deposited that statue. The film's non-scientific approach is to help people access their memories once again and maybe to collect a little piece of Enver's statue as a souvenir from Albania.
