Plot
The film tells the story of Ollga, an old lady from the city that moved to the village to stay with her daughter, a young beautiful girl. During the dictatorship, young people were sent to villages after graduation to work and get experience as well as contribute in their field of study. Her daughter, Meli, Rajmonda Bulku, was a nurse. Teto Ollga had an attitude of superiority toward villagers, but at the end, she finds herself really well among them and she becomes useful as she starts working as chef. Besides the funny story and jokes, the movie features a great view of the village, Tushemisht, located in Pogradec, Albania, with its numerous canals, the lake, Drilon springs and high mountains.
