Das Meer ist der Himmel

The Sea Is Heaven

Enkelejd Lluca's debut feature follows 35-year old Leon on a road trip through Albania encountering surreal situations and fascinating characters on a mission to fulfil his late grandfather's last wish to take his ashes through the country and scatter them into the sea. Leon had never wanted to see his family again after they sent him to Germany as a small child, and he is initially reluctant to return back home. However, during his journey, he learns more than he could have ever imagined about himself, his home country and life itself. What's more, he discovers a family secret that leaves everyone speechless.
