Kukumi (2005)
Beautifully sad

A wonderful microcosm of how mentally challenged people try to get by in a society that has no place for them, as it itself is struggling to reconstitute after a collapse caused by war.
The cinematography feels intimate yet distant. It gives us points of view ranging from the fleeing Serbian occupiers to the returning Albanian refugee villagers.
Dialog is at a minimum. The movie, however, speaks volumes. We are left to bare with the uncomfortable silence, which makes the narrative even more powerful.
The chaotic jumble between scenes reflects the nature of the characters. Do not expect a happy ending.
