Through Wikipedia I found out that Emmelsum has around 300 inhabitants, has never been self-dependent and that there are no places of interest. Even the district’s own website states that there is not much to say about Emmelsum. The film is an attempt at a portrait of this village.

Hakie’s daily routine in the Albanian Alps is shaped by an archaic separation between the roles of men and women and allows us to see how the category “gender” is very much a social construction.
