Synopsis:

Would you sell the bones of your father or grandfather, if this was a millionaire business? JOLIE, French, and ORSOLA, Italian, her daughter, after the strange adventures of losing the bones of their father and grandfather, to a village in the South of ALBANIA, discover maybe the most bizarre BAZAAR of bones, with which the history of the BALKANS can be bought and sold. Why not profit, themselves, by selling the bones of their father and grandfather in exchange for true love?

Our story is based on actual events, happened in the South of Albania near the Greek border years ago, based in the old Balkan saying: the place in which the grave of a compatriot has endured the trials of time, is a place worth dying for.
