Aisha

LIM | Less is More 2020

Aisha and Sabedin, a middle-aged couple, live in a small Albanian village in North Macedonia. They don’t have children, and their mutual existence is a silent war; they eat separately, sleep separately, and hardly talk to each other at all. One day, Aisha decides to start having driving lessons with her nephew, the instructor Bekim. These lessons make Aisha blossom, while a family secret is revealed.
