The Beauty of the Donkey
Dea Gjinovci / Switzerland, Kosovo, France, United States / 2025 / 76 min
Together with her father, the director embarks on a journey into the past. After more than sixty years in exile in Switzerland, Asllan and his daughter return to his home village in Kosovo, a place marked by war and loss. Amid familiar landscapes, encounters, and quiet moments, a poetic picture emerges of conflict, violence, and a hidden family history in which memory and the present blur together. The film combines documentary reality with impressive images and staged scenes that bring Asllan's childhood memories from the 1950s to life.
